It's about making a choice to use clean, reliable energy from renewable sources, including wind energy farms, new landfill gas recovery systems, and new solar power sources. GreenChoice will reduce emissions into the atmosphere of nitrogen oxides as well as carbon dioxide, whose buildup in the air is linked to the phenomenon of global warming. Many of our customers want their utility to be more sensitive to the impact of power generation on the environment and are willing to pay a premium to make that happen. No one knows what fossil fuels will cost in the future.
Renewable energy costs long-term are much more certain.
Therefore, future GreenChoice subscribers will be protected from electric price increases due to fuel cost escalation.
