Solar Panels In the summer of 2007, with an eye toward bringing solar power into the mainstream, we switched on one of the largest corporate solar installations in the United States at our Mountain View headquarters. Our 9,212 solar panels produce 1.6 MW of electricity, which is enough to power approximately 1,000 average California homes. It reduces our carbon emissions and makes good business sense too; the installation will pay for itself in about 7.5 years.

Google's Green Initiatives Clean Energy 2030 Google's goal in presenting the Clean Energy 2030 proposal is to stimulate debate and we invite you to take a look and comment - or offer an alternative approach if you disagree. The U.S. has a real opportunity to transform our economy from one running on fossil fuels to one largely based on clean energy. The energy team at Google has been crunching the numbers to see how we could greatly reduce fossil fuel use by Our analysis suggests a potential path to weaning the U.S. off of coal and oil for electricity generation by 2030 (with some remaining use of natural gas as well as nuclear), and cutting oil use for cars by 40%. Over 22 years this plan could generate billions of dollars in savings and help create millions of green jobs.
