Google: Cheaper than Coal

As you know, Google isn't just a search engine, the company is also helping the world in our global warming crisis. On the 27th of November, Google unveiled a "hundreds of millions US Dollar" plan to develop energy cheaper than coal. The plan's name is currently named as an inequality (as in mathematics), (Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal). [Sorry, I can't use the greater than symbol, Blogger thinks it's a HTML error, so I used an image]

"Our Goal is to produce 1 Gigawatt [which is enough to power a city the size of San Fransisco] of renewable energy capacity that is cheaper than coal. We are optimistic this can be done in years, not decades," said Larry Page (co-founder of Google).

In order to succeed in the plan, the renewable energy must range from 1 to 3 US cents per kilowatt-hour to "beat" coal, the dirtiest, but cheapest energy source available.
Although they are working to improve electricity consumption, the web search leader would not disclose the energy consumed in powering its online services. Local energy experts claim it is one of Silicon Valley's [Google's HQ] biggest energy customers. Even though it's a con, 1 GW is more than enough to fuel Google and they're still ahead [in terms of friendliness to the environment] of Yahoo Green, in which they don't do anything, only news about climate change. It's action we need!!!
