Green Power Switch

I have been interested in doing the green power switch for a while, and heard a presentation about it the other day.

Basically you can buy 150-kilowatt-hour blocks (about 12 percent of a typical household monthly energy usage) for $4 each. You are not buying green power to come directly to your house, but you are helping to add green power to the mix.

The renewable sources of energy included in this are wind power, solar power, and methane gas (using methane gas as fuel to power an electric generator helps to reduce air polluation, as opposed to directly releasing the methane gas into the atmosphere as a potent greenhoue gas).

The clearest evidence of the value of using green power switch is that, according to the Nashville Electric Service, paying $8 a month for green power switch is like not driving your for four months! This same investment per month is like recycling 15,322 cans or 1,766 pounds of newspaper!
