We decided to go green. We have converted from our local utility provider to Bullfrog power. We did it basically because we felt that environmentally it was the right thing to do. We are no longer powered by coal or nuclear energy. Here is some information from the Bullfrog website: When you buy your electricity from Bullfrog Power, you are ensuring that your electricity dollars are supporting 100% clean, renewable power production instead of nuclear and coal. All of Bullfrog Power's electricity comes from generation facilities, like Sky Generation's wind facility, that have met the Canadian federal government's Environmental Choice Program EcoLogoM standard for renewable power. Our current electricity mix comprises 20% wind power and 80% low-impact hydroelectric power.
Wind power is among the cleanest sources of energy available, producing no emissions that contribute to air pollution or greenhouse gases. EcoLogo-certified low-impact water power must meet a range of environmental criteria including the protection of indigenous species and local habitat, and measures to minimize fish mortality and to preserve fish migration patterns.
All of this means that when you sign up for Bullfrog Power, you're supporting the production of environmentally low-impact electricity that does not produce any smog or greenhouse gas inducing emissions and that helps preserve local habitats. By choosing renewables, you're doing your part for the environment!
