Google Putting The "Goo" In Good

Not only is Google not evil, but it's actually doing some more good in the hood. They've partnered up with EI Solutions, which specializes in the design and installation of large-scale, solar power systems, to begin installation of 1.6 megawatts of solar photovoltaic panels at the Google Mountain View campus. The new system will save Google around $393,000 annually for it's 30-year expected lifespan, which could essentially pay for itself in about 7.5 years.

So in a year or two you'll be seeing solar panels on top the Googleplex buildings when you do a search for 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View CA on Google Earth or Maps. Great job Google! I hope to see other large companies continue this "greener and cleaner" way of doing buisness while investing in renewable power technology.
