Google has announced a major investment in four projects, bringing the total investment of photovoltaic companies in clean energy projects to nearly $1 billion.
The search giant has made an investment of $94 million for the production of energy in the electricity network in the United States. The past projects, however, have made solar panels to 10,000 homeowners through the installation on the roof.
Axel Martinez, assistant treasury of Google, wrote a message in the company’s official blog :
We believe that investing in renewable energy makes sense in terms of both business and hope for clean energy projects in order to attract new sources of capital for a sustainable energy future.
Google has invested more than $880 million in 2011 in a variety of renewable energy projects: wind, solar and transmission solutions.
For solar photovoltaic projects, Google is working with KKR, an ‘investment firm, and with Recurrent Energy, which, however, deals with the development of solar energy.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tech giant Google announced Wednesday it is donating $11.5 million to several coalitions fighting to end the modern-day slavery of some 27 million people around the world.
In what is believed to be the largest-ever corporate grant devoted to the advocacy, intervention and rescue of people being held, forced to work or provide sex against their will, Google said it chose organizations with proven records in combating slavery.
“Many people are surprised to learn there are more people trapped in slavery today than any time in history,” said Jacquelline Fuller, director of charitable giving and advocacy for Google. “The good news is that there are solutions.”
The Washington-based International Justice Mission, a human rights organization that works globally to rescue victims of slavery and sexual exploitation, was chosen by Google to lead the efforts.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Facebook group was titled “No More West Indian Day Detail,” referring to police patrol for a raucous annual Brooklyn parade.
Sprinkled among the frustrations aired about regulating the crowded, loud, often-violent event were comments that were more offensive. Some called the parade, held in a predominantly black neighborhood, “ghetto training,” and a “scheduled riot.” Others referred to participants as savages.
The West Indian Day Parade celebrates the culture of the Caribbean islands and is one of the city’s largest outdoors events. Food carts with spicy dishes and fresh fruit crowd a stately parkway and dancers shimmy wearing revealing feathered costumes.
But it’s often surrounded by violence. Following the parade this year, a woman was shot to death while sitting on her stoop with her daughter, as police exchanged gunfire nearby with an armed man who’d opened fire on another person moments before. And others were shot to death during celebrations in 2003 and 2005.
