Many power companies offer the option to pay a bit extra each month to be supplied 100% renewable energy


This is often not as impressive as it seems.

I was paying extra for green energy from my local power utility (ENMAX) and it turns out, by green they meant they were burning biomass and using some form of carbon offset for it at the time I was paying. (https://www.enmax.com/home/electricity-and-natural-gas/easym...)

That's greenwashing and I won't have any of it.

I am getting panels put in this year; for some people that isn't an option.
