When you choose one of these products, you are choosing familiar clean technologies such as wind and small, low-impact hydroelectric power. Less familiar is Landfill Gas, a readily available, reliable source of renewable energy that takes advantage of landfills’ steady production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Both companies have a 100% and a 50% option, allowing you to choose a clean energy offering in an amount that represents either all or half your usage each month. The 50% option costs half as much; when you choose this option, 50% of your energy will continue to come from the system energy mix, which includes nuclear, coal, oil, large hydro, and natural gas.
