Nameless, Faceless Corpor… Oh wait… maybe they do care.
I love hearing the phrase "Nameless, Faceless Corporations"... We could probably throw the world evil in there.... However... we always attach a name to them... Microsoft is evil, Google is Evil... I love the people that you catch saying these things... They're the same people that you catch saying "Bill Gates is Evil"... When you point out that Mr. Gates donates millions if not billions of dollars annually, they call it a tax write-off... He's not doing it because he cares...
Well now we've got another one for the skeptics for the "everyone who makes money is evil, we should all support only open source" crowd. This may be a shocker... but Google cares about the environment.. This shouldn't be much of a shocker though... because Google's founders have already invested in an electric sports car and solar panels. This time, however, the Googleplex itself is getting a bit of a makeover as Google plans to install solar panels on the roofs of several of the Googleplex buildings... They will generate enough electricity to power 1000 homes.... or cover about 30% of their electricity usage. This will be the largest corporate solar installation in the US and one of the largest in the world... Let's hope that other businesses will see the value in this (A one time expenditure vs monthly electricity payments) and follow suit.
Peace,
