Google said on Thursday it was looking to build solar power plants, invest in more renewable energy companies and sell of licence any energy-related technologies it develops to other companies. The company said the initiative was aimed at stimulating the development of solar and other renewable energy sources in the hope of finding a cheaper, more reliable power source for the company's computer data centres. Google co-founder Larry Page said 'just providing energy for Google is not really enough of a goal, we really want to provide energy that's cheap enough that it can replace significant amounts of the energy that [is] used today'. According to estimates, Google spends in excess of US$2 million ($2.3 million) per month on electricity.
