Ikea is in the middle of fitting solar panels onto the roofs of their global stores. Turns out they have a lot of space up there, and have over a million panels worldwide. They are also investing really heavily in wind farms and large one-off turbines - 3 billion dollars invested in the last 8 years. They own more turbines than they have stores, and are working with a bunch of interesting startups to develop tools to manage this fleet of disparate turbines (source: interviewed at one). So yeah, I guess talk on the internet is cheap.
