When MOUNTAIN € ™ s Green Power?

Here, the resources of € ™ s Green Mountain Energy from:

1. Gases landfill contaminated with dozens of toxic chemicals
   Green Mountain intends to use landfill gas as their main source of new renewable energies. In early 1999, Green Mountain 4 Burner claimed to be the use LFG in the specific New Jersey and Michigan. It turns out they lied about them all. Green Mountain has not reveal the location of gas burners landfill in your mix. For more information on the flaring of landfill gas and why it nâ € ™ t â € œ Green, â € please read the manual LFG as â € œ € Green Energy.
2. The wood waste incinerators
   Green Mountain was taken to use energy in their products in California, which comes from wood industry waste incineration of wood in Oregon and Washington. Without But when the two plants in Oregon to contact the preparation of a report from Public Citizen called care purchasers Green was that the facilities were not aware that his energy was sold by Green Mountain and, apparently, the money collected from customers are not passed on to them.

In Pennsylvania and New Jersey (Green Mountain has only the markets in CA, PA and New Jersey to day), there are several waste incinerators Wood, whose energy could be sold for à € € œgreen.â proposed structural incinerators / new demolition wood waste have been expelled from several communities in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware in recent years. On April 24, 2000, a law was passed in the State of Delaware, the prohibition of the € â € œgreen energy incinerators wood waste that threaten the communities of Delaware .* before being banned by Delaware € ™ s the new law, Philpower Corporation € ™ s proposed incinerator waste timber was removed 5-6 communities in Delaware, most of them targeting poor minority neighborhoods.

Currently, there is always a € € œgreen Energy Marketing proposes the construction of the new construction / demolition of incinerators wood waste in New Jersey. If one of these incinerators are built of wood waste, may be sold by Green Mountain as € € œnew renewableâ power. Green Mountain was ready to market this type of clean energy.

Information about dangers of incineration of waste wood can be found in the article entitled, â € OETH hot topics Biomass.â €

* Delaware € ™ s new law also prohibits € â € œgreen energy incinerators proposed by chicken droppings and Allen Fibrowatt € ™ s Family Foods. These companies are now looking to the east of Maryland to develop their burners waste.

3. Hydroelectric dams
   Hydroelectric dams currently considered a € € œrenewableâ under the Green-e certification if they have less than 30 megawatts of capacity. In early 1999, Green Mountain claimed to be the sale of energy from a small hydroelectric dam in New Jersey in its food Pennsylvania. It turned out they were lying. At the same time claiming to be selling energy from a large (non-BMD) Renewable West Virginia. What we can say that this is true. However, money from the sale of this power would be a company that is 99% of energy coal (Allegheny Power) and do nothing to increase renewable energy or environmental benefit in any way.
4. Natural Gas
   Green Mountain said that natural gas – non-renewable fossil fuels – in their products. If you tell them the truth in early 1999 (when he lied about most its other energy sources) are able to purchase Natural Gas Energy Conectiv Hay Road € ™ s natural gas plant in Delaware. If natural gas is cleaner than coal and nuclear energy, yet reported greenhouse gas emissions, the precursors of acid rain and hazardous air pollutants such as lead, mercury, benzene and formaldehyde. For more information on the health hazards of natural gas, visit www.green-energy.org/naturalgas/.
5. Wind
   In California, Green Mountain is the sale of new wind energy billing customers before their construction. These wind turbines have been built not Weren € ™ t for the taxpayers of California by helping to finance through stateaid € ™ s advantages system load and other grants by providing money for these things. Green Mountain customers have been wrong to think they are the only (through œfree Marketa € â €) has managed the construction of these turbines. THATA € ™ s simply not true. Regardless, Câ € SA ™ wonderful thing that these turbines existing Green Mountain should be encouraged to spend their own money to build many more in place to provide much of its power from energy sources that gaseous combustion of biomass and landfill gas.

In Pennsylvania, Green Mountain Advertising has since January 1999 as having the wind in their mixture. At least for several months, Green Mountain Wouldn € ™ t even claim that they had no wind in your mix (which probably does not have any). In the course of 1999, was intended for resale Searsburg Energy Wind, Vermont (6 MW wind farm, which was built in part with federal tax money) to customers in Pennsylvania. In Since this was true, he was simply taking the wind of the composition as customers get used to Vermont to sell to customers Pennsylvania. In other words, they moved only sources available to everyone (on paper) and did nothing to improve the environment.

It was not until recently, Green Mountain was new wind energy in their mix. At 10 megawatts in the county Farm Somerset, south-western Pennsylvania has been built to supply green MOUNTAIN € ™ s the mix and it must, beginning around May 2000. This is very commendable that this new wind capacity under construction. Green Mountain should build more wind power and must undertake not to use clean energy sources.

6. Very small amounts of solar energy
   Construction cost of solar energy about 10 times more than wind energy building. Although solar energy project that Green Mountain located near Philadelphia in 1999 was the largest solar project in the state, Câ € ™ is still very low standards of electricity. It is located on the roof of a BJA € ™ s warehouse and generate only 43 kilowatts – not even enough to power the building is on.Until solar prices decline much, nâ € ™ t wait to see any significant amount of energy built for solar energy market green. Marketing as Green Mountain are likely to continue to build what they need good press release on Earth Day.
7. Nobody knows with certainty ™ € that donâ t tell anyone
   No state or federal laws require energy traders to tell you exactly what plants produce their electricity. Some require disclosure you give a vague idea light (eg 25% Hydro, 25% biomass, 50% gas). However, you have no right to know what specific services gives her power. You know as Dona € ™ t companies claiming the additional amount you can pay for green energy products. Same with the Green-e certified electricity œgreenâ € â € You nâ € ™ t know anything more than vague percentages kinds OT power. If youâ € ™ re concerned that the energy of an incinerator or a power plant in your specific community is sold as green energy, youâ € ™ re out of luck. You have to trust the goodwill of companies and organizations certification are If people want to know the truth.

SS Fair Project help!?

OK, had a social study and just goin soon im doing my project on renewable energy development Michigan. Can anyone give me links to websites that have graphics in the public opinion polls and some may give or cons Energy Renewable? PLEEZ help me! THNK you soooo much! 10 points for best answer!

Meaning not sound like an ass, but really … Google or Wiki should take all your answers in search of the first page.
