I wondered where the juice comes from that runs our television. We’re talking about how much we just paid to fill the car.
“Still cheaper than bottled water but you wouldn’t want to drink that stuff. Most of it ends up in the air we breathe. Fossil fuels also provide most of the electricity we use everyday. We also import about 500 million gallons of the stuff every day.” I want to know if we can buy clean electricity like from the windmills we saw in Hull, Massachusetts.
“All power plant electricity goes into the same big tank whether it’s from brown fuel or green fuel. You can’t directly buy wind energy. Besides, there’s very little renewable energy in New England right now.”
“We should join New England Wind Futures like thousands of other Massachusetts residents and businesses. It’s only $5 a month and we can do it by phone or on-line.”
Anything else I should know before we join?
“Yes, every dollar is matched with a solar electric grant to our Newton public schools through Clean Energy Choice .”
