The
electricity industry is changing. More than one-third of all U.S.
consumers can now buy electricity made from renewable energy sources like
the sun, wind, water, plants, and Earth's internal heat. Such power is
sometimes referred to as "green power", or "clean
power".
In most states, you can buy clean power through green pricing programs offered by your power company. And in some of the states that have a competitive electricity market, you can choose an independent company specializing in producing power using renewable resources as your power generator.
