How can one know his power is all "green"? When your house is connected to the power grid it comes from all over. No power company ran a dedicated line to his home. Now if I where to install solar paneling on my property, whatever power I generate but do not use gets put into the grid and my power meter runs backwards. If I give enough back It is possible for me to actually receive payment from the power company. However in New England that would not happen, not enough sunlight. I think what he pays into for "green" is like a state tax question here in MA. Our rate is 5.3% but you have the option to pay a higher 5.65%(the old rate) if you want.. why I have no idea, but the option is there.

The real deal, Gores Kilowhores Al Gore's Electricity Really $432 a Month by dotcommodity Wed Mar 07, 2007 at 07:14:35 PM PST Today I spoke with Jo Lynn, the representative from Green Power Switch, the company Al Gore buys his electricity from. I had called her a week ago and left a message that I wanted to buy a Green Power Switch Gift Certificate to buy Green Power for someone who lived in the Tennessee Valley Authority coverage area (Senator Inohofe, but I'll get to that later). She took a week to call me back, so Rating: 5
