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..

Cool. Send me an email. I don't want to broadcast my account number
over the internet. There are some folks here who are not very
trustworthy.
I understand your concern. I don't have your email address. You can email
me
at .
Better yet, how about I send the info to Tim, and you send the $180 to
Tim?
I'm happy to send him email as well, but I don't have his email address.
In
any case, I'm willing to pay the company directly, but I'm not willing to
send you or any individual a check.
Either way, let me know.
Done.
As you don't want to send a check to anyone, but are willing to pay
the company directly, here is the way it will have to be done:
1. Call the Dominion Customer Service Center at 1-888-667-3000 and
tell them you want to buy Dominion Green Power.
2. Tell them you want the 'Block Option' , explained below:
"Block Option"
* Pricing Details: This option allows you to purchase RECs in any
$2 fixed increment - as much as you wish. Each block represents 133
kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy and costs $2 (based on a rate
of $0.015 per kWh).
* For Example: You can choose to add as much as you want per month
($2, $4, $6, $8, $10, $20. you choose!) to your monthly electricity
bill to support renewable energy. The amount is up to you, and will be
the same fixed amount on your bill each month.
* Benefit of Participation: If you enroll in the "Block Option"
for $10 more per month for one year, you reduce greenhouse gas
emissions equal to removing one car from the road for a year. The more
you buy, the more benefits you create.*
3. Purchase $180 worth of RECs, and have them placed in my account. My
account number is coming to your email address.

You are doing a good thing.

All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking.
FYI, no email received so far...

Gee, why am I not surprised? John will, by the way, lie about you in a
subtle sort of way, ala Harry.
Did you change your name to 'Bama? If not, then you didn't get lied
about.
