There are many different stakeholders involved in funding this clean energy boom, including renewable energy companies, large investment firms and banks, and government organizations. Recently, major technology corporations like Apple and Google have also become more heavily involved, investing money in solar plants and wind farms around the world, and greening their own operations. For instance, Apple has recently announced that all U.S. operations were powered by 100% renewable energy and Google plans to purchase half of the energy from the Altamont Wind Farm to power their Mountain View headquarters, the Googleplex.
Both Google and Apple have invested more than one billion dollars each in clean energy. We wanted to provide a brief look at some of their contributions, as they demonstrate their commitment to sustainability around the world.
