WTVO/WQRF - Internet search giant Google says it'll invest millions of dollars in researching green technologies and renewable-energy companies.The company is interested in helping big commercial alternative-energy projects that traditionally have had trouble getting financing.
In addition to considering project finance, Google has also committed 20-million-dollars to funding start-up firms researching solar-thermal and high-altitude wind power.
Google said in November it planned to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to help drive the cost of electricity made from renewable sources below the price of power generated from coal-fired plants.
