Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat .
Solar Energy
The sun's heat and light provide an abundant source of energy that can be harnessed in many ways. Current technologies include concentrating solar power systems, passive solar heating and daylighting, photovoltaic systems, solar hot water, and solar process heat and cooling.
- Generating electricity from solar means less consumption of fossil fuels; reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emission from local power plants.
- Installing your own solar power can reduce or eliminate your exposure to rising electricity rates. The portion of your usage that is generated on site will no longer be subject to increases.
- A solar power system can reduce or eliminate your electricity costs.
Wind Power
One of the country’s largest sources of new power generation. Wind is a domestic, inexhaustible source of energy, and is free from fuel price volatility.
- Business that produce altenative energy equipment have opened up a new job market.
- Increasing our use of wind power to 20% of all U.S. electricity supply would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 25%.
- Wind power does not emit pollutants into the air and does not contaminate water.
Hydro Electricity
Hydropower is uses flowing water to work machinery or make electricity. Turbines and generators convert the energy into electricity, which is then fed into the electrical grid to be used in homes, businesses and by industry.
Choose Green Power!
Green power is electricity that is generated from renewable energy sources such as wind and the sun. You can buy green power or you can generate your own. You may install solar panels and research incentives for renewable energy.
