I spotted a Google Street View car...

... and, like Jon, I found it strangely quite exciting!



The sight of seeing the car driving through the streets of Birmingham did make me ponder one question which I hadn't really considered before.

With the increased awareness these days around climate change and the damage we are doing to the natural world, are Google doing anything to offset the environmental damage caused from driving cars around every street in all the major cities in the United States and Europe... and presumably, one day, a large portion of the world?

A quick search of the Street View pages on Google don't provide any clues to the answer... can anyone shed any more light on this I wonder?
