Do You Know the Clean Truth?

You've heard about the R's for the environment: reduce, reuse and recycl. Did you know that using clean electricity makes a greener impact on our planet than any of those three?

It's time to get the facts and learn the Clean Truth.

 

Renewable energy

Renewable energy, like wind and solar power is inexhaustible. Neither can be depleted.

Using renewable power, like wind and solar energy, is pollution-free. No carbon emissions are released into the air when clean renewable sources are used to generate power.

Greening the grid

Switching to clean electricity helps grow the demand for clean power sources.

Solar energy

One hour of the sun's power could meet the world's energy demands for an entire year.

Solar energy

One turbine produces enough electricity to power more than 300 homes for a year.

Clean electricity

For every 10 people who sign up for clean electricity, more than 150,000 pounds of CO2 emissions are prevented in one year.

If 100 people signed up for clean electricity, in one year, more than 1.5 million pounds of CO2 emissions would be prevented. That's like, 1,652 households turning off their lights for a year!

Using clean electricity is accessible and easy to do. You don't need solar panels on your roof or a wind tubine in your backyard. Simply sign up with Green Mountain Energy for 100% clean electricy.
