They don't see the relationship between some of these projects? Google consumes a huge amount of energy for their massive server farms. Is it surprising they are investing in solar and wind energy? I don't think it is much different than the airlines trying to hedge fuel costs. Google's primary competency is software engineering. Is it surprising that they are working on cars that drive themselves? That is defintely a lucrative problem and they are well positioned to tackle it. There are plenty of other companies with smaller market cap than Google and a wider portfolio - just look at Yamaha (musical instruments to small gasoline engines? really?) or even Microsoft. I think it is a good thing, maybe the 21st century Bell Labs.
