Google Offers Solar Energy

At a party last weekend, someone asked me to speculate as to what Google’s grand plans are.  Of course, I have no more real insight into this than the next guy, but, given their $3.2 billion acquisition of Nest, one would have to think that it involves the use of information to guide us in our use of energy.  And here’s news suggesting that Google wants to become a major player in the energy sector more directly: their entry into the solar photovoltaics business.
