U.S. Secretary of Energy Board Ernest Moriz praised steps taken by Google. " This project shows that building a clean energy economy can push the job opening and processing innovations on gas emissions , " he said .
Development of alternative energy that Google is also related to their ambitions , namely to create humane technology . " The technology will soon be the humane thing , more than I ever imagined , " said Google engineering expert , Scott Huffman .
Previously , Google already has allocated millions of dollars to create such technology . Among them , for creating a smart car and a robot .
