While the bad news is that electricity utilities create more pollution than virtually any other industry, the good news is that starting early next year, you can do something about it. You can switch to electricity generated from a source of energy that never pollutes and never runs out the breeze coming off Lake Michigan. Many people see switching to electricity generated from the wind as an easy way to exercise faithful stewardship of the earth s natural resources. When all of our electricity is generated by the wind, our air will be cleaner and our environment will be healthier. But best of all, the cost of producing electricity using the wind s power doesn t go up when the cost of other energy increases.
Wind power eliminates the risks of price spikes common with fossil fuel.
Soon you will have a choice. The electricity industry has been around for 100 years just a few years longer than Crystal Flash has been a key player in another energy related industry petroleum. The big difference is that all this time you have had the freedom to shop around for the best fuel supplier, but you have not had any choice about your electricity supplier. Until now, electricity generation, transmission and distribution were handled by one company, your current utility, with the government s blessing. You had no option to choose whether your electricity came from a coal-burning plant or a nuclear reactor.
