You know Google, right? They’re that company that does wind farms and autonomous cars. Oh and yeah, they have a search engine too, I think. Seriously, what’s the deal, Google? Now they’ve invested in an offshore wind farm off the coast of New Jersey. The idea is to build a ton of wind mills and then connect them all with cables in order to help power the eastern seaboard.
