Google's Next Investment is in...Geothermal Energy

Trust Google to spring really cool surprises (make that warm surprises in this case).

According to reports, Google is in discussions with Israeli geothermal company Ormat Technologies, a relationship that could lead to an investment. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted an interview this past weekend with Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who praised Ormat and the other Israeli companies working in alternative energy. Google co-founder Larry Page also visited an Ormat geothermal plant in Nevada, the newspaper reported.

Google's philanthropic arm, Google.org, has pledged to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in clean-energy companies.
