10 Reasons to buy Green Power
- Help
clean our regional air. Buying wind power reduces
smog, acid rain and air pollution.
- Make
a difference. Be part of the effort to speed the
transition to clean renewable energy sources.
- Conservation
for future generations. Our national oil, natural
gas and coal will not last forever. Our wind and solar resources
need to be developed now.
- Money
talks. The more customers that sign up, the more
wind power will be installed.
- Cheaper energy
may actually cost more. Wind is a bit more expensive
for now, but consider the total cost of energy from other sources:
smog, acid rain, oil spills, nuclear waste storage, lost salmon
species and global warming.
- Reduce
your own pollution. Buying wind power is a cheap,
easy way to dramatically reduce the environmental impacts of
your energy use.
- Minimize
climate change. Each cent spent on wind power keeps
nearly a pound of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas,out
of the air.
- Green Power is
inexpensive. $0.40 per month is a small price to
pay to save 1,200 pounds of coal and avoid 2,400 pounds of
air pollution each year (the equivalent environmental benefit
of not driving your car 2,400 miles or planting one-half acre
of trees).
- Buying Green Power is
your choice. A powerful choice, pollution-free electricity
from the wind.
It's
the right thing to do. Buying wind power makes a
difference. Wind power helps build a sustainable energy future
and a healthier environment.
