If you're in NYC, you might be able to buy green energy from Con Ed Solutions, or another deregulated energy service company (ESCO). It's 25% wind/75% small hydro (supposedly fish-friendly). Check out <http://poweryourway.com/>.

While deregulation has kind of an Enron-like ring to it, I don't think it's all bad as long as choices such as green power are available. They even have independent auditors who make sure the energy they sell is as green as advertised. Imagine how it would change our fuel consumption patterns if everyone chose to buy green power!

Now, given the choice between putting up your own solar array or windmill, or outsourcing your green power production to a public utility, you have to admit the outsourcing approach makes some sense. For one thing, there's no capital investment on the part of the consumer. Of course some of us are so into this stuff, we'd do both!

I've been so preoccupied with the election fraud stuff, that I too haven't kept up with the energy situation. But buying Green Power is almost a no-brainer. It's just not too well-publicized! Gee, I wonder why? ;)

On edit, let me say that since 9/11, I have become obsessed with renewable energy! This election fraud stuff has really been a big but necessary diversion. Check out GaryBeck's site too:
