Google blows $39m into wind power
Google has invested $39m in two North Dakota wind farms, its first direct investment in a large-scale green energy project. The company said the windfarms, developed by NextEra Energy Resources, will generate enough electricity to power 55,000 homes. Google is one of the world's largest users of electricity via its data centres, which house millions of servers. The move is a shift in strategy for Google, which previously sought to invest in renewable energy via start-ups.
