Topic Reading-Vol.1654-10/21/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why Apple and Google are moving into solar energy?
Electricity is needed to power up any tech device, such as a smartphone, tablet or wearable. Also, it is essential for tech companies to manage the rising cost to run their data centers where enormous amount of business and private data is stored. Electricity is indeed the most essential resource for tech industry, including manufacturers, service providers and users.
That’s the reason tech giants like Apple, Google and Amazon are all working on developing solar power plants or businesses. Instead of outsourcing significant portion of their operation cost to inefficient and expensive legendary power companies that use environmentally harmful fossil fuels or nuclear, they are moving to generate electricity themselves by solar power taking advantage of decreasing cost of solar panels.
They may soon use such solar-generated electricity to drive electric cars. The demand for cleaner electricity is surely rising.
Enjoy reading and thinking how much of your energy consumption is provided by solar energy 10 years from now.
