Google announced already in January that it had invested $75 million in a 182-megawatt wind farm called the Panhandle 2, located in Carson County, near Amarillo, Texas. The facility is set to start producing enough renewable energy to power 56,000 homes by the end of 2014.

And it is also great to see that 2 IT giants, leading corporations are investing in the sector based on their desire to positively impact the environment.
