The Taos
Wind Power Campaign is Endorsed by Environmental Advocacy Groups.
Kit
Carson Electric Co-op,
and local groups encourage citizens and businesses to be socially
responsible for the environmental impacts of their energy use.
We encourage you to support this new program.
Purchasing Green Power is easy to do
You can purchase wind power for your home
or business by paying a little bit more on your monthly utility
bill. Currently, wind generated electricity costs more than
traditional fossil fuel generated electricity. But, by paying
a bit more and buying wind power now, you help build the
demand for clean, renewable energy. The concept of paying
more for clean power is called green pricing. Green pricing
programs are available around the country; they provide an
opportunity to accelerate this important transition to clean
and renewable energy sources. As more people choose wind
power, more wind farms will be built and the costs will come
down.
Now
northern New Mexico has a choice.
We can choose pollution
free, renewable wind generated electricity. Wind power
is available from Kit Carson Electric Co-op in 100 kilowatt blocks through
their Green Power program.
Buying
wind power makes a difference
Wind power is pollution-free,
it produces no smog or acid rain and does not con-tribute
to global warming. Buying one 100 kwh block of wind power
each month for a year has the same environmental benefit
as not driving a car for 2,400 miles or planting one-half
acre of trees. Think about it. For the price of a video
rental, you can make a significant reduction in the environmental
impact of your electricity use. Buying wind power is one
of the best things that you can do to help the environment.
Help
spread the word
Word of mouth can be powerful, so
talk to your friends and family about signing up. Support
your local businesses that buy wind power. Together we can
make a real difference.

The cost of each
100 kilowatt-hour block is $0.40 per month, which is billed
in addition to your regular energy charge on your monthly
statement. Customers must make a one-year commitment for residential and small business accounts. Large power accounts must make a three-year commitment.

The more blocks
you purchase the more pollution you prevent. Buying three blocks
per month for a year offsets the environmental impact of driving
7,200 miles and has an equivalent benefit of planting 1.5 acres
of trees. Buying five blocks per month offsets 12,000 miles!
