I found this blog very interesting to read because I had no idea that Google used so much energy and was so universally popular. I knew it was a huge and prosperous search engine (more than a billion searches a day!), however, I didn’t realize just how much energy it uses until I read that it uses enough energy to power 200,000 homes. That seems like so much energy, but Google argues that this makes the planet a little greener. They say that while this may seem like a lot of energy, it saves people different types of energy who actually search things on Google. For example, if a person wants to go to the library to check out a book, they can save fossil fuels in their car fuel by just searching information about the book on Google. Along with saying that they are the “greenest search engine”, Google fights to keep the title. I thought this blog was very interesting and informational, and I found out things I hadn’t known before. I enjoyed it!
