Go With Green Energy, Fire Your Power Company

Earth4Energy is a viable renewable green energy resource. Green energy is defined as a source of energy that is environmentally friendly and non-polluting, such as geothermal, wind, and solar power. These sources of energy may provide a remedy to the systemic effects of global warming and certain forms of pollution. Green energy is commonly thought of in the context of electricity, heating and cogeneration. Fire your power company, create your own electricity. It’s much easier than you think, and cost effective too.

In order to support further development, and to help reduce the environmental impacts of conventional electricity generation as well as increase the nation’s energy independence Consumers, businesses, and organizations may purchase green energy. Consumers and businesses can support green energy through Renewable energy certificates. There are some 35million homes in Europe and 1 million, about 0.01%, homes currently in the U.S. that are purchasing such certificates. There is expected to be a 10% increase in the use of this technology, by the year 2025.

Some homes that produce there own electricity by means of a renewable energy resource (Green Energy) not only eliminate there entire electric bill as a result but they get a kick back from the power companies for their production of excess electricity. Roughly one-quarter of the nation’s utilities offer green power programs to customers, and voluntary retail sales of renewable energy in the United States totaled more than 12 billion kilowatt-hours in 2006, a 40% increase over 2005. By participating in a green energy program a consumer may be having an effect on the energy sources used and ultimately might be helping to promote and expand the use of green energy. In some countries the electricity companies guarantee to buy an equal amount of ‘green power’ as it is being used by their green power customers.

Many states offer incentives to offset the cost of installation of a renewable energy system. Individuals are usually assured that the electricity they are using is actually produced from a green energy source that they control. Once the system is paid for, the owner of a renewable energy (Green Energy) system will be producing their own renewable electricity for essentially no cost and can sell the excess to the local utility at a profit. This concludes this article and in that we hope that it made some think and others act. The time is now for change. The earth is out of time. Look around you. Global warming is nothing to take lightly.

The polar ice caps are a renewable resource or they’re  suppose to be. The ice at these caps is melting so fast that if they deplete the earth will be in caos. Since the beginning, like clock work, the ice caps have replenished themselves and now, sadly, they are falling way short. As everyone knows or should know the ozone layer that we keep hearing about is terribly damaged and allowing the rays from the sun to get through at such a rate that the ice caps are melting way ahead of schedule, so far ahead that they can’t replenish fast enough to keep up which means that they will deplete if nothing is done. Going to green energy helps.
