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.

I understand your concern. I don't have your email address. You can 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. -- John H All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking. How about this... you make the payment (I'm assuming you can afford it), post a copy of the paid bill with the extra $180, then I'll send you money order via regular mail. I'm going to France for a short trip beginning on 1/1. Assuming there are no terrorists on the plane, I return Thursday next. If I see it's been paid, the MO will go out the next business day. I really don't know anyone on this newsgroup. I prefer to stay anonymous. I can't pay the entire amount at one time. I can add 15 cents per kilowatt hour used to my bill. Or, I can tell them to add $14 or $16 per month to my bill. The $180 is an estimate of what the additional cost per kilowatt hour would be, given the average usage for a year. I could have them add the 15 cents per kilowatt hour to my monthly bill. Then I could post a copy of my monthly bill showing the amount of increase due to the 'greening' of my electricity. Then you could send me a check for the difference. Agreed? -- John H All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking. Sure... either way is fine! I just don't want to send multiple MOs, since my bank charges for more than a couple per year. I was just tweaking you with the other email about plonking. Well, if you sent me a check for the difference, you'd have to be sending it every month. The best way is for you to send $180. I then have Dominion add the 15 cent charge per kilowatt hour. Then every month I'll post a picture of my bill. If I fail to do so you can call me a liar and a cheat. Since I'm not Harry, that would really bother me. Bored today John? Talking to that fake lawyer again. |
