Hi All!
Does anyone know anything about this “claim” that I recently read from an email newsletter group on the internet?  It claims “local wind power” but the only local one I know is merely in the start-up-building stage.  Is there another site that could be called “local?”  And last time I heard, our local wind power group would be feeding into only Duke/Power.

“Ethical Electric – America’s only progressive clean energy company. Ethical Electric provides 100% clean, local wind power to its members. Switching is fast & easy – you’ll still get the same bill, the same service, over the same wires. All that changes is that instead of powering your home with dirty energy, like oil, gas and nuclear, while funding dirty politics, every time you pay your electric bill, you’ll be supporting 100% local, renewable energy.  Are you ready to support 100% renewable power every time you pay your power bill, from Ethical Electric?”

It would be wonderful if I could do this, but I question whether it is applicable to our area at this moment in time.  I look forward to hearing your input.
