What do you mean 'clean' electricity?
The leading cause of industrial air pollution in the country is the production of electricity. While the majority of electricity generated in the U.S. is made by burning pollution-causing fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, our 100% Wind and Pollution Freesm electricity products for Texas residential customers are produced using clean renewable resources — wind and water.
By choosing Pollution Free electricity over typical system power, a Texas household with average monthly usage of 1,000 kWh can prevent more than 1,700 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution a year. That's a significant reduction in the average American household's share of CO2 emissions.
See our Electricity Facts Labels to compare the generation sources and emission characteristics of Green Mountain's electricity products to typical sources of generation in Texas.

Is clean electricity the same thing as 'green power'?
Yes. The clean electricity you buy when you sign up for one of Green Mountain's pollution-free electricity products is a type of green power. For more information about green power from the EPA, click here.

Does buying clean electricity really make a difference?
When customers choose Green Mountain Energy Company, they are supporting the development of new renewable energy facilities. In fact, Green Mountain customers have spurred the development of 13 new renewable facilities across the country (4 wind; 9 solar). In 2006, we estimate these clean energy facilities prevented the emission of 47,000 tons of CO2.
Purchasing cleaner electricity also helps ensure that renewable energy facilities are maintained and continue to run. And, it can help build demand for more new renewable generation facilities to be built.
