I did not know about these options! I'm definitely going to explore whether we are already receiving green energy or need to make the switch. Thanks for the very informative article!
Solar energy uses less fossil fuels than burning fossil fuels directly, but isn't clean. Making, transporting, and installing them all require fossil fuels (wind too). They require mining non-renewable resources. Plus disposal is already a big issue and growing.
Solar, wind, and nuclear are cleaner than coal, but not clean. They're more like methadone: still a serious drug and helpful to kick an addiction for someone seriously intending to quit an addiction, but still a serious drug. Nothing competes with reducing consumption.
I read an article in Fast Company that there is a company in the US that now sells solar panels that can be installed on roofs with shingles, and homeowner's who install them are eligible for the US tax rebate. I found a site online that sells a single window hanging solar panel to charge phones and I-pads.
