Maybe Apple doesn't feel they can be successful in areas other than consumer electronics. Trying to get into another line of business would be a HUGE distraction for management as well as the employees.
As for your green energy comment: I think Apple can do far more to promote green energy by being a customer and driving partners to produce better products than designing their own green business. For example, by buying a shitload of fuel cells for their datacenters, Apple funds Bloom's (or others') R&D efforts. Same with solar panels and other alternatives.
