Today I opened my electricity bill to find a golden opportunity for an
Al Gore believer to step forward and do something about global
warming.
Here's the deal:
For only 1.5 cents more per kilowatt-hour of electricity usage, I can
purchase renewable energy certificates equal to 100% of my monthly
usage. As I average about 1000 kWh per month, this would amount to
*only* $15 per month in addition to my normal bill.
So, here is a chance to make a difference. You send me $15 per month,
and I sign up for the program! Then, 100% of my electricity usage will
be from renewable energy sources, to wit: 69% wind and 31% biomass
from facilities in Missouri, Indiana, and Louisiana.
WHAT A DEAL!
I know several of you will want to participate, so I must take the
first offer. Also, as I don't want to jerk the electric company around
every month, I'd like to get a years worth of payment in advance. Just
send a check for $180 and we're good.
Do you seriously think anyone here with half a brain would trust you with
$15? How about this... give me your electric company's phone number and your
account number. I'll pay them the $180 directly. Put up or shut up.

John doesn't want a solution to the problem. He'd rather believe Rush.
That means despite all of the science to the contrary, he still thinks
that global warming isn't happening.
The guy is trying to switch to responsible energy and you are
complaining? Geeze, you are a confusing Loogie, must be Loogic!
