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. -- Nom=de=Plume 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. Disregard last. I called Dominion Power to see if it were possible for you to do what you suggested. It's not possible. The charges *must* be added to my electric bill. So, let's look at alternatives. Are you saying there is no one here that you trust with $180? We're not talking big money here. If you send the money to Tim, I'll have my account adjusted. Then I can publish a photo of my statement each month proving that I'm paying the amount. Tim might spend it on drugs. She doesn't know Tim. |
