For another argument see "green energy" I join a program at my electric company and pay 30% or so more for solar and wind power. I do this. They pool the monthly total KWh I bought at 30% higher rate and contractually buy it from local wind farms. Cool.
The problem is I'd like a program where I get 100% of my KWh from the 0.75 cent/KWh "local" nuke plant instead of stinky coal. Where's my "green glow energy" program that drops my electric bill by 50%?
