EDF Works with Church Groups to Promote Green Power Vol. Now that all California residents can choose how their electricity is produced, the Episcopal Diocese of California's Commission for the Environment hopes to purchase its own wind turbine to meet the electricity needs of parish facilities, clergy, and parishioners. By reducing demand for traditional, environmentally harmful ways of generating electricity, such as burning fossil fuels, the Commission hopes to set an example of how human needs can be balanced with those of nature.
Wind power emits no pollution and has little impact on the land.
Green Mountain Energy Resources, selected by the Diocese Commission, will absorb the windmill construction cost if 3,000 green energy customers can be recruited within a year.
