Google Inc. to Citigroup Inc. plans to build a windmill power centers in several U.S. states. Cooperation project between the two companies is quite attractive given the project spelled out is a new breakthrough for the construction of windmill power centers that had been funded by government and businesses have less appeal for investors who want to expand.
Google and Citigroup manufactures Windmills Power Plant
Google Inc. in this case acting as the drafter of technology, while Citigroup fully as a funder of the project which takes the total cost of 204 million dollars. In the initial trial period of this project, funds invested of 102 million dollars allocated for the construction of complex windmill-powered 1550 megawatts of electricity.
Where the practice field following the application of all the management, both companies are working with the Alta Wind Energy Center. This last project has been running since last May and for the early stage of development will focus on two states of Oregon and Texas. Project Long Term According to Amy Grace windmills as U.S. observers, the policy pursued by Google and Citigroup quite get appreciation from many quarters.
In fact, he personally welcomed the development of the project where the selection of two cities, Oregon and Texas to help quite precisely where the weather will be very supportive with geographic conditions such as wind and soil texture conditions for the majority of the hilly making it profitable for the construction of windmills. Grace also added that in terms of investment, construction of windmills electricity will be highly prospective and has a long-term view of the need for electricity will continue to rise.
The reason is based on the location of the Texas and Oregon, which is one of the centers of plantation several food commodities like wheat and corn in the U.S.. In addition to plantations, in both states are also located the factories of the processing of corn and wheat so that it will require large power supplies power supplies other than that previously obtained from the power generation bioenergy and geothermal which is the majority supplier of electricity to both the state . In the early stages, the construction of electricity-producing windmills in Oregon and Texas will be a capacity of 720 megawatts which is divided into five building complex.
Match the Agricultural Sector When viewed with the consequences and impacts resulting from the electricity-producing windmills, it is suited to the needs and the resulting effects for the agricultural sector. For Renewable Energy, a windmill is not just an electricity-producing facilities, but also has other advantages such as having a positive impact on the environment and prevent environmental contamination or pollution. Moreover, the majority of the construction of windmills in the U.S. are in the area of lantations and farms. In addition, the advantages of windmills is to be as a measure of weather and meteorology. Oregon is in fact concerned about the tornado as a customer, it is expected to be a significant advantage.
Not Remove From Question Although welcomed by many parties regarding the construction of the project, some questions, especially from the legislative and local businessmen were quite burst. They questioned the move the two companies which allegedly has a business projection for the expanded business in the agricultural sector and food industry in addition to gains from the sale of electricity supplies to many consumers in both states.
Commissioner BBJ, Kristanto Nugroho added, go green with awareness of potential business aspect of the construction of wind-powered electricity generation is very positive to reduce the effects of global warming caused by fossil-fueled power plants such as oil and coal because of gas-producing the greenhouse effect. When Google and Citigroup is expected to start and successfully created the trend of energy that is friendly to nature.
