    Earth has issues, and it’s time humanity got started on a Plan B. So, starting in 2014, Virgin founder Richard Branson and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will be leading …. And so begins the next phase of Google’s quest to index all knowlege and Richard Branson’s life long desire to find new beach front property. It’s great to see Billionaires take the high road by combining their insights, technological smarts and ’sense of a good time’ to help out humanity. Way to go guys! (tags: evauation)
