Google's Energy Backbone

Somewhat old news, sorry, but...

Google invested in 37.5% of a 5 billion (thats'... um... divide, multiply, carry the six, cancel the 4, subtract, convert to Euros, take the Fourier transform, multiply by the Planck constant.... that's $1.875 Billion!) "energy backbone".
What is that?
Thanks for asking! It's a really big wire that travels much of the east coast and allows companies to build wind turbine farms far off the coast. It's a really big step in making wind energy more useful because it offsets a lot of the initial cost. Go Google.
