Google and GE allies in quest for clean energy San Francisco (AFP) Sept 17, 2008 Internet titan Google and technology colossus General Electric said Wednesday they are joining forces to promote a "smart" US electric power grid and clean energy policies. The companies said they will work together on green energy technologies and lobby US political leaders to support "visionary policies" on renewable energy.

"This 21st century electricity system must combine advanced energy technology -- a major GE focus -- and cutting edge information technology -- a major Google focus."
