Electriclady's Profile

Hi everybody. I work for a wholesale electricity supplier, and I just wanted to educate consumers about the realities of buying "wind' power or hydro power or plain old LNG, coal, nuclear, garbage, whatever power. The reality is while you are paying a premium for "wind" or any type of renewable power, you are not actually getting wind power. Electricity is electricity. It's allo the same Whether you have contract with a 3rd party supplier for regular electricity, or "green" electricity, you'll be getting the same electricity, and there is no way to guarantee that you are actually getting "green" energy. The truth is your local utility is still delivering the same electricity is always has been. It's just that you're paying a premium for it. My mom signed up for wind power through FPL for an extra $7 a month because it seemed like a good thing to do. It's the biggest scam going. Now she pays more for the exact same electricity.
