How to Switch to 100% Renewable Electric Power
Several Texas utilities now offer power produced from renewable sources. It generally costs more than power generated from fossil fuel burning plants, but a growing number of consumers are electing to pay a premium for environmentally friendly power.
When you choose to buy renewable energy, you are telling your electric company that you want a certain percentage of your power to come from renewable resources, in this case 100%. That percentage of renewable power is then produced and placed onto the power grid.
Steps:
- Make the decision to switch.
- Acknowledge that the switching may be complicated and stressful.
- Find someone knowledgeable and trusted who can serve as a guide.
- Go!
