Speaking of the world, we don’t want it to endespecially by environmental catastrophe.
Consequently, we are working hard on our own considerable energy use in data centers by
making them far more e cient. We’re working directly on our own carbon/methane o sets
to cover our usage. But we are all on the same Spaceship Earth, and we need to energetically
address harmful emissions. To this end, we launched RE<C, an initiative to make renewable
energy cheaper than coal- red plants. We have started our own internal development
e ort, and have made investments in promising technologies. We are working on new clean
technologies that could make more energy than we have now, and do it at a lower cost.
Our goal is to generate a gigawa (roughly enough to power San Francisco) of clean, cheap
energy in years, not decades. If we are successful, we will not only help the world, but also
make substantial pro ts.
We continue our e orts to make Google more global. Google is available in di erent
local country domains and languages (including some obscure ones like “Swedish
Chef”Bork, Bork, Bork). While Google is available virtually everywhere there is Internet
access, our business operations are in just countries. We are still working to establish a
signi cant business presence in places such as the Middle East. As we expand our operations
and hire our rst employees in another country, that part of Google feels like a startup.
We started Google.org with the idea of eclipsing the impact of Google itself while focusing
on more philanthropic causes. ough we are working on extremely tough problems in
di cult locations, we have made signi cant strides. We have established several main focus
areas, including predicting and preventing disease; improving public services by informing
and empowering people; and increasing economic growth and job creation through
stimulating small- and medium-sized enterprises.
