Not sure it’s correct way to view the problem but in my mind if google could
1. Ensure all employees traveling to work had zero emissions
2. The production of energy to power their offices and servers produced zero emissions
3. The sourcing of materials to build and maintain the energy production produced zero emissions
4. The food required to feed the people working for them produced zero emissions
I think 3 and 4 are going to be the hardest for the world to figure out
1 and 2 we have good solutions either solar/ hydro or mass transit or electric cars. But the supporting infrastructure that’s harder maybe?
- cmrdporcupine 6y agoAt Google at least there's some reasonable support for EV charging at work. The Mountain View office support for this is better than my own (Waterloo) where we have only 4 chargers for the entire office -- located indoors underground right in the office building making them competitive spaces that people use even though they don't need it. But the infrastructure in California is actually quite impressive, and they were early to the game on that. But better than making driving less CO2 intensive is to have people not drive at all.
