SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. is converting its renowned headquarters to run partly on solar power, hoping to set an example for corporate America.
The undertaking will be the largest solar project by a U.S. company. Google believes the sun eventually can deliver as much as 30 percent of the power at its 1-million-square-foot campus in Mountain View — a suburb about 35 miles south of San Francisco.
“We wanted to dispel the myth that you can’t be both green and profitable,” said David Radcliffe, vice president of real estate at Google.

In America's baseball parks from coast to coast, fans are learning about what it takes to go green. That's because Major League Baseball (MLB) teams all over the country have started eco-friendly programs in MLB's first league-wide eco-initiative.
Researchers in Italy have high hopes for a new wind-power generator that resembles a backyard drying rack on steroids. Despite its appearance, the Kite Wind Generator, or KiteGen for short, could produce as much energy as a nuclear power plant.
Here's how it works: When wind hits the KiteGen, kites spring from funnels at the ends of poles. For each kite, winches release a pair of high-resistance cables to control direction and angle. The kites are not your Saturday-afternoon park variety but similar to those used for kite surfing -- light and ultra-resistant, capable of reaching an altitude of 2,000 meters.
