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.

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.

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.
