It seems that Google’s success has gone to the heads of its leaders. The N&O reports here that:
Specifically, Google wants to develop technology to make solar and
other energy sources less expensive than coal, which currently produces
about 40 percent of the country’s electricity but whose use releases
large amounts of climate-warming gases into the atmosphere.
I am not saying that they won’t be masters of the solar world, but many management gurus note that success in one field has little to do with success in another. In the words of Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, authors of the bestseller In Search of Excellence, “stick to the knitting.”
