Daystar takes the lead as the First Media Outlet in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area to Purchase Cleaner Electricity
Austin, TX — September 10, 2004 — Daystar Television Network, the fastest growing and second largest Christian Television Network in the world, announced today its purchase of cleaner electricity from Texas-based Green Mountain Energy Company, the nation's largest and fastest growing retail provider of cleaner energy.
Green Mountain Energy® electricity is cleaner than typical system power in Texas and will be purchased for Daystar Television Network's worldwide headquarters in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. By purchasing cleaner energy from Green Mountain Energy Company, Daystar Television Network is helping prevent the release of over 520 tons of carbon dioxide (C02), a greenhouse gas, into the air each year - equivalent to not driving 1.1 million miles annually. This is enough electricity to power approximately 6,000 average homes/households in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for a year.
Anna McCoy, director of marketing for Daystar says, "Daystar Television Network made an important business decision that makes financial sense on our electricity bill while at the same time benefiting the environment. Purchasing cleaner electricity is a powerful choice all of us can make to help improve the world around us. Daystar Television Network has made this important decision to be good financial and environmental stewards."
"Texans are enthusiastically embracing cleaner electricity. We will build on our success and experience as we offer both less-polluting electricity and cost savings for many businesses in the Lone Star State," said Scott Hart, president of commercial services for Green Mountain Energy Company. "Our agreement with Daystar Television Network is another example of the strength of the retail electricity market in Texas and our commitment to doing business here in the state."
Hart added, "Our cleaner electricity products, coupled with the competitive rates we are offering to many Texas businesses, make choosing Green Mountain Energy electricity an extremely compelling proposition."
By purchasing a cleaner electricity product from Green Mountain Energy Company, Daystar Television Network is helping increase the demand for new renewable facilities that in the long term could benefit the environment.
