Google has taken great initiative in pushing for clean energy solutions. They have long maintained that their goal is to become a carbon-neutral company. Their involvement includes: (hyperlinks to elaboration at PESWiki)

- 10 to the 100th Project Seeks 5 Best Ideas
- Adopting RE in its own facilities
- Software products for renewable energy
- Beta testing renewable energy products
- Investing in renewable energy companies
- Misc. Google Awards
- Google Energy as a utility
- Hosting its own energy conference
At the same time, I must say that I have never seen any indications that Google shows even the slightest interest in the kind of exotic free energy technologies we typically feature in our coverage. They've never responded to any email or phone contact attempts we've made with them, and none of the news stories about their foray into renewable touch on them showing any interest in the exotics. They play it safe with the academia-approved, known science-abiding technologies, which is kind of wimpy in my opinion, because history tells us that this is not where many of the true breakthroughs arise. Maybe they don't appreciate that phenomena because Google wasn't born in a garage but a University.
As long as their efforts move us toward more distributed energy and autonomy, not toward an Orwellian world, then we might be glad they're involved. Sometimes you have to wonder, with how much they enable and appear sometimes to be sympathetic with Orwell. We encourage you to sign the petition telling Google not to enter an information-sharing agreement with the NSA.

To the world that passed their science exams "exotic free energy technologies" means "crackpot schemes from frauds and fools". Google is right to ignore the ignorant and the frauds alike. Name one good reason they should pay attention to the crazies. Name anyone who has claimed an "exotic free energy technology" who has the slightest bit of solid scientific evidence for their claims.
Goggle's "10 to the 100th" project turned out to be a big nothing. Instead of any interesting ideas, they declared the finalists to be a set of broad general categories. They weren't able to pick anything specific from all the ideas that were submitted.
And you say that they don't have time to respond to a internet guy who (lately) specializes in regurgitating claims made by other internet crackpots? Unbelievable! Protest this injustice, Sterling. Use blue cups this time.
