Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt Details Energy Plan, Chides Lack of Leadership « Earth2Tech
In his speech, Schmidt called for 100 percent of U.S. power generation to come from green power in about 20 years, as well as the replacement of half of the nation’s traditional cars with plug-in hybrids. Cleaning up the power grid would lead to the creation of 500,000 jobs in wind alone, Schmidt claimed; his plan would also allegedly reduce emissions by half.
Note that Google director John Doerr (of Kleiner Perkins) has big financial bets on "green" energy.

Also note that Al Gore (a partner at Kleiner Perkins) is a "Senior Advisor" to Google.
