[ausev] Austin Energy Green Choice...

[Claire Sorenson]

I hope I am not straying from our forum here.  If we are looking for cleaner
sources of energy for our electric cars, there are some interesting things
to note about the GreenChoice program.  Not to be a wet blanket, but we all
use the energy from the wind farms.  Those who participate in the
GreenChoice program pay more and that allows more green power to be added to
the grid to replace fossil fuels for all Austin Energy customers to use.  I
think it is a great program.  But, at first I thought that by participating
in the Green Choice program it meant my house would then run on 100% green
energy.  I am curious to see if in the end the green energy actually
replaces fossil fuels or just adds more total energy to the grid.  Either
way it is still a good program.  I would rather have a percentage of our
grid run by wind power than none at all.  Little by little we will ge there.

You might also look up Green Mountain.  They buy only green energy from
various sources and sell it to Texas Consumers.  The catch is that their
service coverage is still limited.  See the website below.  You can plug in
your zip code and see if they serve your area.

For those who want to power their electric car with power from Texas wind
farms...  Now is your chance.  Batch-5 GreenChoice energy became
available today.   GreenChoice power has been unavailable to new
customers for the past two years... since January 12th, 2006.
