Has Google Heard of Steorn?

In spite of being a regular user of its technology products, I am still unable to define precisely what conventional category of corporations Google would fall in. What I am certain of is that to classify this immensely successful corporation as a provider of search and advertisement services is insufficient. Its interest go to beyond provision of information as evidence of the book digitization project shows and now into deploying the creativity of its human resources towards a search for energy sources that are cheaper than coal-generated power.

An article in the NYT reports that through its philanthropy subsidiary Google is pursuing investments in a number of promising start ups. Knowing that this is a corporation not given to a reckless approach in its business ventures, this search is probably well-considered hence could lead to very high returns.

However, considering the claims by the technology firm Steorn that it had discovered a mechanism for generating free energy, perhaps Google's advisors could consider a review of the ongoing validation of the firm's energy technology. Then again, Google's founders are capable engineers and understand that the claim by Steorn to generate free energy interminably is not only highly improbable but not worth a second look. When this blog first posted here on Steorn, the blogger considered the chances of its success at about 5% and since Google seems not have considered it, then perhaps it ought to be downgraded further. Otherwise, Google has missed the excellent opportunity for the acqusition of a firm that would not only supply the technology to ensure that it not only achieves the goal of renewable energy but limtless and free energy.
