Funny how the Laws of Thermodynamics keep screwing things up.
LOL So true.
Google decided they didn’t want to get caught in the Obama payback scandal?
Damn...
well, how’s that “square circle” project coming along?
They didn’t mention their autonomous vehicle project.
I assume it’s still moving forward?
Idealism is a great thing until Mr.Reality parks his ass in your driveway....
In other words, the multi-billionaires at Google failed to secure hundreds of millions of dollars from Obama’s stash for their little experiments.
Well, as soon as they get their perpetual motion engine working, all they have to do is build a car around it.
Bingo!

GOOGLE, GE EYE GREEN ENERGY
San Jose Mercury News (CA) - Thursday, September 18, 2008
Author: Elise Ackerman, Mercury News
Google and General Electric announced Wednesday that they would work together to push the development of renewable energy.
The companies said they would team up to lobby the federal government to modernize the electrical grid and collaborate in the development of technologies for plug-in vehicles and geothermal energy.
“We are trying to make renewable energy cheaper than coal energy,” Google co-founder Larry Page said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
The partnership was unveiled at Google’s annual Zeitgeist conference, a two-day think-fest where Google’s business partners are invited to Mountain View to discuss global issues with leaders such as former vice president Al Gore and Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, as well as celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio and Forest Whitaker.

Business folks saw that the government won’t be dolling out pots of free gold to support the solar energy effort forever.
Let’s go ahead and not waste our money.
They must have some smart business people over there amongst the Obama lovers.
They must not have talked with Rossi.
IOW, Google decided to stop doing what isn't possible? Funny how these morons always refuse to waste their own money on utopian, “pie-in-the-sky”, unproven “alternative” energy sources...
Google has moved onto its next big project. The Magic Rainbow chasing machine.
They are also abandoning their project that would enable them to turn beverage bottles into pure gold using sunlight and water.
Google, why do you hate our planet? /s
Or they already have water heaters in their homes.
Makes me feel much better since I own 5 shares of GOOG.
If this does not indicate the commercial likelihood of solar energy, then nothing will.
Two cash flush, companies; motiviated by fame and share holder value, think it's a dead end; then the venture capital government programs are dead too.
It is arrogance to think that granting money to strange grant writers is sound fiscal policy when the likes of GE and Google who actually know something (at least GE does) bail out of same.
But then again, we live in the age of unchecked arrogance.
