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.

I've trusted him for way more than that, and still would.

Mee too...
