Google is currently working to develop breakthrough solar thermal technology (which it expects will be ready in 1-3 years). It has also gotten into the smart metering game with its innovative PowerMeter technology. In addition, there has been speculation of Google getting into the utility business (focusing on renewable energy, of course) since Google has officially created a subsidiary company titled Google Energy and gotten permission to buy and sell wholesale electricity.

Now, Google has taken one more step in this direction. It just invested $38.8 million in two wind farms in North Dakota.
