Google invests 40 millions on wind farms

google windfarms

Google turns green following the actual trend.

Investing 38.8 millions of US dollars in wind farms is really a bright idea.

It is bright from their part since it will be able to supply enough electricity to operate their servers.

And secondly Google is fond of electricity as we have recently seen with Google Energy. And still for recharging our future electric cars, there remains only one step to go ahead.

The acquisition of two wind farms in the North Dakota is going to produce 169.5 Mega Watts of electricity enough to power up to 55 000 houses.

We recall also that Google produces 1.6 Mega Watts through 10 000 solar panels.
