Google's Goal: Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal

Creates renewable energy R&D group and supports breakthrough technologies

Mountain View, Calif. (November 27, 2007) – Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced a new strategic initiative to develop electricity from renewable energy sources that will be cheaper than electricity produced from coal. The newly created initiative, known as RE<C, will focus initially on advanced solar thermal power, wind power technologies, enhanced geothermal systems and other potential breakthrough technologies.

WHAT'S SO DAMN ADVANCED ABOUT 1960s TO 1980s TECHNOLOGY?

Google's too cheap even to hire somebody who can fake concern for the environment by even knowing what the "breakthrough technologies" might actually be in the 21st century.
