What is Green
Power?
Green power is energy generated from
non-polluting, environmentally beneficial and renewable sources.
Examples are solar power, wind power, small scale hydro-electricity, and
energy generated from agricultural sources or landfill gas.
On average, every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of
renewable power avoids the emission of more than one pound of carbon
dioxide, a global warming pollutant. Green power technologies generally
require much less water to operate than nuclear and coal power plants,
and as more consumers buy green power, the cost is likely to improve.
How Can I Buy Green Power?
You can help support the move toward clean renewable energy by
buying green power blocks either from your local utility provider or
through a national renewable energy provider - see Green-e
for a list.
If you are a Georgia Power customer, you can enroll in Georgia
Power’s Green Energy program. Check
out our blog about the program for more information. We can
provide you with forms to pass out to your congregation's next Creation
care event, or you can sign up
online. Either way, be sure to mark GIPL as your referral
source.
