How Much Does It Actually Cost to Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is?
Went to see An Inconvenient Truth. Mourned anew that this sober, intelligent thinker and communicator is not our President. Vowed to recommend the movie. Then Ralph proposed that we consider changing our electricity provider to one of the “clean” choices. For example, Energetix has an option to supply 50% or 100% of your electricity from wind and water. We tried to research the actual costs, risks, and benefits of doing so, and I challenge anyone without our combined years of post-secondary education to navigate this minefield and feel confident about the eventual decision. We think the premium we’ll pay is about +15% per kilowatt hour or less than $200 a year. Okay, enough: we have decided to just do it, to make our own tiny investment in alternative energy development. Keep up the good work, Al.
