Experts say it&#8217;s true: Watching a video on Google&#8217;s Youtube site is  indeed more energy-efficient than watching a DVD that had to be  manufactured, packaged, shipped and purchased. Talking about sustainability is a popular marketing tool,  but Google has made renewable energy and environmental protection part  of both its corporate identity and its operations in a way that is  unique in corporate America. Google&#8217;s philanthropic arm funds projects  aiming to make renewable energy cheaper than coal power. The company  purchases large blocks of renewable energy directly from power  generators. Google has invested nearly $1 billion in renewable energy  projects, including wind farms in North Dakota, California, and Oregon,  solar projects in California and Germany, and the beginnings of a  transmission system off the East Coast meant to foster the construction  of offshore wind farms. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2011\/09\/08\/google-energy-use_n_954097.html?ref=google\" target=\"_blank\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>News selected by Covalence | Country: Global | Company: Google | Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2011\/09\/08\/google-energy-use_n_954097.html?ref=google\" target=\"_blank\">Huffington Post<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stung by concerns that using Google is bad for the planet, the Internet search giant has revealed exactly how much electricity the company uses and how much greenhouse gases it produces in an effort to show its business model is environmentally friendly.
