It was just the other day that I was wondering why the search engine giant Google hadn’t begun to explore green initiatives.  Oddly enough, it was just announced yesterday that Google is planning a project to develop a new solar mirror technology which should greatly reduce the costs associated with renewable energy.

Googles engineers have been focusing on a solar technology that would heat water, which in turn would produce steam that would turn turbines to produce electricity.

Here’s a video of googles green energy czar Bill Weihl discussing a bit about what is happening currently.
