Great Holiday Gift Idea: Renewable Energy Certificates!

What better holiday gift, than to give a green energy upgrade to those you care about. With renewable energy certificates (RECs), it's easy and relatively affordable too. Even if your electric utility doesn't provide a renewable energy option, RECs enable you to 'exchange' dirty, non-renewable energy with green energy. How? Renewable energy providers sell RECs representing every green kilowatt-hour they deliver to the grid, and every green kilowatt-hour displaces a dirty kilowatt-hour! So the certificate guarantees that that more renewable energy is put into the grid (and less dirty energy is produced), while the extra revenue from the RECs help subsidize the cost of green energy production, helping renewable energy producers thrive. It's like an energy karma exchange!
