Interesante noticia anunciada el miércoles pasado donde estos dos gigantes promoverán energías limpias fundamentalmente a través de lobby con los legisladores y autoridades. Su objectivo es la modernización del sistema interconectado de los Estados Unidos y la promoción de energía geotérmica y vehículos eléctricos.
Google and General Electric announced Wednesday that they would work together to push the development of renewable energy.
“We are trying to make renewable energy cheaper than coal energy,” Google co-founder Larry Page said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
The partnership was unveiled at Google’s annual Zeitgeist conference, a two-day think-fest where Google’s business partners are invited to Mountain View to discuss global issues with leaders such as former vice president Al Gore and Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, as well as celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio and Forest Whitaker.
Against a backdrop of continued financial turmoil, Google’s leaders said their business was in good shape and unlikely to experience a direct impact from the current crisis. “The company has a large amount of cash in very boring investments,” Chief Executive Eric Schmidt told reporters. As of June 30, Google had $16 billion in cash and securities and other current assets.
