| Pollution Free Electricity in New York |
|
If you're trying to make more sustainable choices in your life, there's one key item that should be on your checklist – choosing renewable energy for your house or apartment. Did you know that most of the electricity in the U.S. is made from non-renewable, polluting sources such as coal? Purchasing clean energy from renewable sources such as wind is one of the easiest things you can do to reduce your household's share of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution... even easier than recycling!
In 2005, the New York State Public Service Commission opened New York's electric market to competition, giving customers the power to choose who their electricity comes from. While Con Edison is still the utility with the primary role of energy delivery, customers can sign up with a new energy service company (ESCO) to supply their energy.
