Cool Stuff

I got a letter today from Rocky Mountain Power, the company that provides us with our power. Here is what it said:

Dear Christopher Brown,
On behalf of Rocky Mountain Power, I'd like to thank you for choosing to support renewable energy through our Blue Sky program. We're pleased to present your 2007 Blue Sky annual report to show you the difference you are making.

An Outstanding Year
Your total 2007 Blue Sky purchase of 3,200 kilowatt-hours helped avoid the release of 3.2 tons of carbon dioxide emissions into the air, providing environmental equivalent to planting 628.80 trees. Your current purchase is 4 blocks per month.

The letter goes on to talk about the various programs that got off the ground in 2007, the numerous businesses that are investing in the Blue Sky program, and recognizes that the Blue Sky program was honored as the U.S. Department of Energy's 2007 Green Power program of the year! It's really cool stuff and I'm glad to be a part of it.

It is such an easy thing to do as well, I'd encourage you to check into your power company to see if they have a similar program or any program where you can buy renewable energy credits. It probably took all of 10 minutes of my time, and then I forgot about it. Check into it, just do it before I send some henchmen over to rough you up!
