An article from Information Week starts out, “Continuing its efforts to implement socially responsible technology, Google on Tuesday said that its Google Energy subsidiary had completed a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with NextEra Energy Resources to buy clean power.”
It talks about how the commitment to purchase wind power enables the energy producer. “By contracting to purchase so much energy for so long, we’re giving the developer of the wind farm financial certainty to build additional clean energy projects,” he said in a blog post. “The inability of renewable energy developers to obtain financing has been a significant inhibitor to the expansion of renewable energy.”
Regardless of the motivation behind Google’s commitment to be carbon neutral, good on ‘em.
