They already announced plans for broadband distribution and now Energy. What is next?

Google will ultimately build a self-sustained ad distribution platform. ;-) Let's imagine, company which will not depend on any other company.

Maybe one day they will buy some small country and became even independent from U.S. government.

And, pray tell, where would they get the cash?

consumers

Consumers will be buying advertisements?

consumers will see the google ads for google products and buy them

Actually, buying their own country might be a plausible next step for them, as crazy as it might sound.

Next they buy walmart, and after that... the US govt. Such that google will control our power, data infrastructure, commercial goods, and govt!

New, from Google, Google Drone.

Now your maps can update in real time and terminate Terrorists with extreme prejudice.

If you think a realtime video version of Google Maps isn't part of their future plans, you're wrong. It definitely is.

Oh, I believe it, but I don't think putting Hellfire missiles on whatever's getting the realtime updates is in their plans... right now, at least.

California's 'Pacific Gas and Electric' becomes 'Pacific Google and Electric'

Next, we see if they actually do something with it.

23andme -- Google Genemods.

Enron.
