Google, GE to groom grid for electric cars
USA: Corporate heavyweights General Electric and Google have announced a plan to work together to promote new renewable energy policy initiatives in Washington, D.C - as well as help build up the nation's electricity grid so it can actually support key efforts like plug-in hybrid cars.
The two companies briefly announced the partnership at Google's Zeigeist conference at its Mountain View, California headquarters. Details are scarce about the fledgling partnership, but Google.org's Michael Terrell posted a video clip of Google CEO Eric Schmidt and GE's Jeff Immelt's discussion on the topic. He also outlined the basics of the plan.
