Ask Google your Energy question today
Today Google's Dan Reicher will be online on the Guardian Website to answer your questions about Google and energy/climate change. Dan is Google's director of climate change and energy and has worked in past US Administrations and on the Obama transition team.
Not often you get the chance to pose a question directly to someone as knowledgeable and well connected as Dan. Here's a few suggestions for substantive questions to pose:
Will Google be setting its self a goal to cut it's own absolute greenhouse gas emissions, like many other tech firms have done already?
How much renewable energy does Google use and will Google set a target to increase this in the future?
Does Google support the 25% cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 needed in the US to help ensure a strong climate deal is reached at the vital UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen at the end of this year?
Or you could ask how Dan thinks Google measures up against the climate change policy and practice of other US Tech giants. Check out how we rate IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, Dell, HP and Sun on our Cool IT Challenge.
You can add your questions now, Dan is online from 4pm UK time Thursday 16 July.

Does Google support the work of Blackle and is it something Google may follow in the future?

Hi Dan... What do you think about "painting" de roads... and roofs in white?
Is it possible to reduce global warming with something like this?
