RE: Project Sunroof : Exploring The Untapped Potential of Solar-Power in America
That's an amazing initiative by Google...sustainable growth I think will be the biggest game changer in coming years...countries that will adopt all theses sustainable sources of energy will definitely be more stable financially.
I don't see nuclear going away anytime soon, but renewables/sun power will likely increase radically the coming years.
And as one representative of the latest big climate conference put it, it doesn't actually depend on government action "anymore" but rather it is now markets that are driving this global change.
Germany is generating so much renewable energy they almost need to give it away. And now those who invested in renewable energy are not able to pay it off.

Worse, it is affecting other countries: “Germany produces too much cheap energy, which countries like Austria then have to absorb. With the current prices for energy, investing in hydro or wind energy without state support is no longer competitive.”
This is a very exciting public resource. The data for this is also available to be downloaded. I like that Google is being very transparent here.
thanks for sharing such an informative post...without transparency they won't be able to develop this project on a large scale, I think that is a very good and calculated move from Google.
