From our archives: this was written before we went solar, when we bought wind power through CleanChoice Energy (then called Ethical Electric). See Green for how we power the studio today.
We stick with CleanChoice Energy because it’s a way to pay it forward. Early on, they teamed up with CREDO, the phone company that donates part of every bill to causes its members vote on, to offer clean power to CREDO members.

Every time I pay my utility bill, I send a check to a company that spends
millions to make it harder for me to power my home with clean energy. I hate
that. But where I live, we don’t have much of a choice.
Luckily, you do have a choice. There’s a new
company in Pennsylvania that not only supports the causes that you and I care
about, but can also sell you 100% clean electricity for about what you’re paying
now.

A lot of companies claim to be green. Or socially responsible.
But CleanChoice Energy is the real deal.
The company was started by Tom Matzzie, a longtime CREDO ally and organizer who
helped stop George Bush from privatizing Social Security and who fought to end
the Iraq War.
Now he is dedicating his life to fighting dirty energy by making it easy for you
to buy power that’s not just clean but also ethical.
When you switch to CleanChoice Energy, you’ll be
buying wind (or wind and solar) energy whenever you use electricity at home.
Nothing else will change. Power is delivered by your local utility. You get the
same service over the same wires. And you pay about the same rate, sometimes
even less.
But instead of relying on global-warming fossil fuels for your electricity,
you’ll be fighting climate change and helping effect positive change in the
world.
And just like CREDO, CleanChoice Energy donates 1% of your bill to progressive
nonprofits that work hard for the causes you believe in—and never gives a penny
to the right-wing politicians backed by other power companies.

If you’ve ever wished there was an energy company as progressive as CREDO,
this is it. As Bill McKibben, one of the fiercest climate advocates on the
planet, put it:
“Breaking free from dirty energy is critical to stopping our planet from warming
past the point of no return. Ethical Electric makes it easy to switch to clean
wind and solar power—and their support of progressive causes is just as
important to fighting climate change.”
