I read the info on Make Your Utility Carbon Free and decided to contact my utility provider, Relient Energy.
I sent them an email advocating selling more electricity from renewable sources and also providing a breakdown for current and potential customer on how much of their electricity is from renewables. This last point is important, because it empowers people to make a more informed choice.
I also contacted them via online chat and asked if there was any information available on what % of their electricity sold is from renewables. The representative started to tell me about thier Wind offering. I put it a different way and they finally said 'no', such information is not available.
Do your part and contact your local utility provider. With enough inquiries they may take some positive action.
Anyone know if there's any such information available on the net that provides a breakdown of the source of energy? Even if it is by state (and not utility) it would be useful.
