GOOGL stock has gained approximately 86.44%, 55.22%, and 7.55% in the past year, YTD, and five days respectively.
Alphabet Inc Cl A (NASDAQ: GOOGL) stock closed Tuesday trading at $2,720.46, up 1.77% from the day’s opening price. However, some of the gains amounting to approximately 0.75% had been obliterated as of October 6, 2021, at 8:30 a.m EDT. Partially, yesterday’s gains have been attributed to news that Google LLC, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) are invited to a Biden administration conference on Tuesday focused on the future possibilities of quantum technologies.
With respect to quantum technology usability, Google is harnessing its vast data via quantum physics to help combat immediate climate change and imminent crisis. In a blog post by Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, the company has introduced new features to help control increased climate change.
“We are introducing new features to book flights or purchase appliances that have lower carbon footprints, a Nest program to support clean energy from home, and eco-friendly routing on Google Maps – which is rolling out today,” Pichai noted.
The company noted that it estimated that the new feature is poised to help reduce carbon emission by 1 million tons per year. Equivalently, the figure is estimated to remove approximately 200,000 units of cars per year. Consequently, the effect is expected to save users more money by reducing fuel consumption.
“Traveling by car is one of the more carbon-intensive choices people make daily. Starting today in the US, and in Europe in 2022, Google Maps will let you choose the most fuel-efficient route if it isn’t already the fastest one,” the blog post stated.
