Google Invests In Australian Geothermal Energy
August 21st 2008 05:26
Google announced on tuesday that they would exceed US Government funding for the search for Geothermal energy.
The company is no stranger to search, obviously, but is currently expecting to invest more than $11 million in projects this year in the quest to find a viable source of geothermal power.
“While the U.S. debates drilling in the ocean for oil, we are focused on drilling for renewable energy - and lots of it - right beneath our feet,” Google.org said in a statement, citing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology study that estimates the accessible heat below the U.S. represents more than 2,500 times America's annual energy consumption.

The subject of Google's searching will be deep in the Australian outback and could provide the world with an excellent temporary solutation to climate change. The question is, what impact will geothermal energy have on the Earth and it's core? A question which no scientific model can predict.
The geothermal funding is the latest investment in renewable energy by Google. It has invested in solar power plant companies BrightSource Energy and eSolar as well as in high-altitude wind company Makani and various ventures related to plug-in hybrid electric cars.
