Google Is Now A Power Company

Google Is Now A Power Company

Wait, what? Seriously?

It appears so. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has just issued an order granting google the right to buy and sell electricity. SlashGear reports that this is primarily so that Google can better buy up power for their data centers and other operations.

Google Energy is the subsidiary that will handle the energy dealing. Could you one day get your power from the same company that provides your search utility? Would that be a good thing, or a terrifying step on the road to a Google-dominated globe? Only time, and Google's seemingly unquenchable ambition, will tell.

Google is becoming too big. It isnt wrong for companies to get big but a company that has no respect for it users deserves to get destroyed in my opinion.

What? Google has supported consumers ever since it was created. You must be thinking of another company.

I doubt it. Google is becoming incredibly wealthy. It's only been around for 12 years and they already match Apple in wealth. Look at this:

Apple is a relitively small company when talking about the big boys.

they dont seem to understand the meaning of privacy, especially their idiotic CEO who continues to stab his supporters. The most recent idiotic move was Google Buzz which opt everyone in without the user knowing allowing people to follow them around, like ones crazy ex husband and getting people fired because everyone can see their contacts. There are also a TON of negative things Google has done with the data they collected on their users and it isnt pretty and will only get worst. Google is too popular right now so many follow them like blind sheep.

Unfortunately, Google isn't powerful enough to defy the Heissenburg Uncertainty Principle.

Or at least, not yet...

They need to get to building a quark-gluon plasma computer. I don't know what that means (as I just made it up) but they should do it.

If they ever buy out Comcast or Verizon then I'm pretty sure that means the googocalypse has officially started.

I predict Google will be the richest/most powerful company in the world by 2020.

That women bashing Google is an idiot. I read the whole thing and basically the comments on that page all agree that she is an idiot. What is she doing talking to her ex husband in the first place?
