Seen on the newswires:
Google Inc. plans a solar-powered electricity system at its Silicon Valley headquarters that will rank as the largest U.S. solar-powered corporate office complex, the company said on Wednesday.
The Web search leader said it is set to begin building a rooftop solar-powered generation system at its Mountain View, California, headquarters capable of generating 1.6 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power 1,000 California homes.
It’s about time a larger corporation started realizing that it was in its own best interest to use a bit of its building surface for power generation.
I just wish that solar and/or wind power were more common in office park landscapes around the country.
