Google's Business Approach to Building Wind Energy | RenewablesBiz
Wind energy just got a nice bump. It came after a key federal agency authorized a project funded in part by Google to lay the groundwork for an underwater power line. The off-shore wind deal, known as the Atlantic Wind Connection, could start putting steel in the ocean by 2014.
Clean energy has been given a thumping from its opponents in recent months. And while this $5 billion project would be getting its money from private investors, it would still rely on the same kinds of tax breaks provided to developers of wind -- programs that are set to expire by year-end. At issue is whether the country wants more wind and if so, does it want to invest public resources off-shore.
