Google.org a 'For Profit' Auto Maker?

Google's philanthropy organization, Google.org, brought Larry Brilliant on board back in February and was highlighted in a report today in the NY Times which had the blogosphere buzzing. Interestingly, Google.org remains "for profit" so they can fund startups which is not the norm for philanthropic organizations or sites using the .org domain extension. Another interesting point is that Google.org plans to develop an ultra-fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid car engine that runs on ethanol, electricity and gasoline. Yes a Google car - I cannot wait to see it!
