Google’s latest idea takes it off the information superhighway and onto the world’s real-life streets with it’s new RechargeIT initiative. Promoted by its philanthropic arm, Google.org, the new initiative aims to reduce CO2 emissions, cut oil and gasoline use, and stabilize the electrical grid by accelerating the development and adoption of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that are capable of selling stored electricity back to electric companies. To get started, Google modified some of its own vehicle fleet to plug into its own solar electricity power supply.
