Google Solar Panel Project

Well that didn’t take long. It looks like Google is not only going solar, but they are showing it off. I posted a blurb about Google and their soon to install 1.6 megawatts of solar power.

At time of writing this (June 19,2007) Google Solar Panel Project has produced 9,810 kilowatt-hours of electricity. This project has added a total of 16,593 killowatt hours since yesterday (June 18,2007). Google explain their project as well as provide some nice pictures and dumb equivalent values like they have produced enough energy to power 3,567 loads of laundry.

What do you think about Google building this solar panel project? Should we take action to require large business to go green?

…3567 loads of laundry…
Thats good because they provide free laundry to employees. I’m sure this isn’t even a drop in the bucket that their warehouses of servers use but every little bit helps. They have the money and brainpower to do some amazing green projects. I hope this trend continues…
