google_solar.jpgGoogle has unveiled a series of new environmentally-friendly initiatives including the installation of solar panels on the roof of its Mountain View, CA headquarters. This solar installation, the largest U.S. corporate solar installation to date, will generate an electrical output that is enough to supply an estimated 1,000 average California homes. The Internet search engine's philanthropic arm, Google.org, also announced its "RechargeIT" initiative. Officials say by accelerating the adoption of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, they hope to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As part of the alternative-energy program, Google.org is awarding $1 million in grants and has announced plans for a $10 million request for proposals (RFP) to fund plug-in research and education.
