Buy Green Electricity

February 9th, 2009 by Sundance Channel

Right now there are a number of government incentives for green energy power plant companies. These programs are designed to level the playing field between green energy companies and dirty companies such as coal, oil and nuclear energy companies. The Obama administration wants to increase the funding to these programs because they believe green energy has long term benefits to the U.S. economy.

There are many parts of the world and in the U.S. where green electricity is purchasable on the open market. We encourage you to look up your local electricity provider and ask them to switch you over to green energy. It can cost you a few extra dollars a month, but that extra investment will be doing your local community and the whole world a huge favor. In most cases you do not have to change your existing energy supplier, you just have to call them up and request that they sell you green electricity rather than dirty coal electricity.

In fact, it would be fantastic if the Obama administration would make a new tax credit that payed people back for all the green energy they consume each year. An idea like this actually seems possible now, which is great.

Join the green energy revolution today.



Robert Redford really knows his stuff when it comes to the environmental movement. He advocates for a green economy revolution in America, and he has recently explained one great way for Americans to help make this dream a reality. Make sure you read this article carefully as there are a lot of really subtle yet powerful ideas presented in Mr. Redford’s article.

“Right now, we have the scientific knowledge and cutting-edge technologies we need to cut global warming pollution and build a cleaner, greener energy future. But technology isn’t quite enough—we also need to have a strong, pro-environment Congress.

That’s why I’ve decided to get behind LCV Action Fund this year. Their top-notch election campaign WILL ensure that some of the worst environmental enemies—like Senators Ted Stevens, Elizabeth Dole, and Jim Inhofe—don’t make it back for another term. But they can’t do it without our help.

Will you give today to help LCV Action Fund make sure the Dirty Dozen don’t see another term in office?

Recently, I read a piece by Thomas Friedman in the New York Times wher e he said, “The greenest thing you can do is this: Choose the right leaders. It is so much more important to change your leaders than change your light bulbs.”

And I thought to myself, that’s exactly it. I’ve been appalled by the direction dirty politicians have been leading our country when it comes to the environment. They have been sitting comfortably in the pocket of Big Oil and Dirty Coal for far too long. They are the ones who are preventing us from passing laws to protect the environment. They are the ones who have made it possible for the polluting interests to profit while American families struggle with rising gas prices.

I know you are just as frustrated as I am. And that is why I am urging you to support LCV Action Fund. They know how to defeat the Dirty Dozen who have polluted the halls of Congress for years with their shameful environmental records. But they need our help before September 30.

We can’t let this critical moment pass us by. Click here to donate today.

LCV Action Fund has a sophisticated political targeting pr ogram that carefully identifies, persuades, and mobilizes undecided voters in the Dirty Dozen’s states and districts. It’s a time-honored program—and I’ve seen it work. Being named to the Dirty Dozen is as close to a political death knell as it gets—LCV Action Fund has defeated 41 of them over the last 12 years! That is an amazing record considering 96% of incumbents have won re-election since 1996.

Elections matter. Who controls Congress matters. Change is possible. I saw it when I lobbied for the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act more than three decades ago. And today, all that is standing in the way of our clean energy future is the selfish, negligent politics of the Dirty Dozen.

Don’t let them block progress to a clean future for our environment any more, joyce. Click here [www.lcv.org] to help make this term their last.

Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Robert Redford”

P .S. LCV Action Fund is leading the charge to turn our environmental values into national priorities. Give today and help them in this fight by defeating the Dirty Dozen this fall.
