Eric Schmidt, CEO, Google
Where Would Google Drill?\n\nEric Schmidt, CEO, Google\n\nWould \u201cDrill, Baby, Drill\u201d be part of Google\u2019s vision for green energy? Yes, but not drilling for oil. CEO Schmidt says punching down into the Earth to capture natural and clean geothermal energy could help move the United States away from its dependence on petroleum. Google\u2019s new energy plan also calls for a bold move into solar and wind power. It would cost $2.7 trillion through 2030. However, Schmidt says it would generate $2.1 trillion in energy savings. It would also create hundreds of thousands of jobs. And help fight global warming.\n\nThis program was recorded in front of a live audience on October 1, 2008\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
