SAN FRANCISCO, May 3 (Reuters) - Internet search giant Google Inc (GOOG.O) has invested $38.8 million in two wind farms in North Dakota that generate enough energy to power more than 55,000 homes.
The investment in the wind farms, developed by NextEra Energy Resources, is Google's first direct investment in a utility-scale renewable energy project.

Just walking, just walking, in the Toronto snow. And I assume the pols will be walking with you right?
the wind farm "powers 55000 number of homes" - homes seem to be the new unit for electricity consumption... can't they admit it's only 55MW, and that's peak capacity, so as soon as the wind speeds are less then ideal, coal and gas fired plants have to supply these "homes" or else the lights go out
Without idling, an important function of the car - to keep you warm in cold weather - is removed. But I guess that's their plan...
