TOP 10 COMPANIES ENERGY GOING EFFICIENT 100 % RENEWABLE HOSPITALS

Google ’ s mission is to organize the world ’ s information and make it universally accessible and useful . Google builds some of the world ’ s most energy efficient data centers ; its facilities consume 50 percent less energy than a typical data center . Google also procures large volumes of renewable power . As of February 2015 , the company has signed nine long-term agreements for more than 1,100 megawatts ( MW ) of wind energy , which is enough

energy to power approximately 330,000 U . S . households . For any emissions Google cannot eliminate directly , it purchases high quality carbon offsets -- which brings its total carbon footprint to zero .

Google also has committed over $ 2 billion to renewable energy projects . When added up , these projects represent a total capacity of over 2.5 gigawatts ( GW ), and produce far more electricity than Google uses . To put this in context , this electricity is equivalent to that consumed by more than 500,000 U . S . homes .
