Google announced today that it’s throwing $55 million dollars to the
wind… energy, that is. Which is set to generate 1,550 megawatts of
energy enough to reportedly power 450,000 homes from a batch of turbines
in the Mojave Dessert. Developed by Terra-Gen Power, the operation will
carry the resulting energy via transmission lines to “major population
centers.” making it one of the largest sites in the country for wind
energy generation. The ever humble internet giant pointed out that this
particular injection of funds marks a total investment of $400 million
in the clean energy sector. In fact, google signed a deal last year to
power several of its data centers with wind power, and most recently
announced the opening of a seawater cooled data center in Finland.
