It's great Google is using

It's great Google is using some of their money for a new energy saving means. I believe when the time comes many companies would follow and attempt to develop new methods for savings.

Helps Us

Google has the money for this and at least it's being used for a good cause. I spend a lot with Google so I am glad they are using it for something that can help all of us.

geothermal energy save money

Google server must be incredibely big and need enormous electiricity. So they search some alternative energy to cut down energy cost.

Investing in future semi-renewable energy sources only makes sense for Google both from a smart business perspective, and from a shareholder sperspective, since the giant would be smart to make moves into the green sector and offset it's own energy costs.

Google needs to search for geothermal

"A tiny portion of the $10.25 million will go towards mapping all this renewable geothermal energy. The rest will be aimed at making EGS technologies cheaper and more efficient."

So in other words, they will spend some money searching for the geothermal 'hotspots' (pardon the pun!) Why don't they just save some money and use Google Search? Or is their search engine not yet powerful enough for such feats? :)
