What are the pros and cons of the various organizations that support for buying Renewable Energy Credits?
There are two organizations that I been considered: 1) LiveNeutral (www.liveneutral.org) and 2) Native Energy (www.nativeenergy.com). Some questions that I think are: 1) non-profit vs. for-profit; 2) purchased by the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) vs. credits are created from renewable energy sources, 3) "imaginary" market vs. real-world projects, and 4) educational institution managed and maintained by Native American organization. Feel free to propose additional criteria. Even if there is another organization that you think I would, please let me know please and give your reasons for the proposal. Thank you!
There is a table from the Department of Energy, the various Providers and their costs compared. See: In http://www.eere.energy.gov/greenpower/markets/certificates.shtml?page=1 effect, donate money to alternative energy sources Fund (wind, solar, hydro, biogas), which then feed into the electricity grid Nat'l. As you donate money, you might as well get a non-profit deducation from your income taxes. The nativeenergy.com site is no definitive answer to this question, but suggests that you can do it. So with a group to go to a charitable non-profit organization that is clearly defined, donations are tax deductible. Look at your annual electricity bill, multiply kilowatt hours by 2 cents and donate as much. In contrast to the carbon credits, which are often vague and sometimes outright fraudulent, renewable energy credits (RECs) to go back on certain production capacity that can (and usually) are checked to ensure that it overboard. (The U.S. gov't buys BE, so that each egregious fraud tends to get quickly revealed.) I think you're on the right approach to renewable energy, and these projects will be the test of time exist independently of how the issue of global warming pans. Despite all the bashing the U.S., the graphic below: http://www.eea.europa.eu/pressroom/newsreleases/GHG2006-en shows how EU-25 does not come close to meeting its Kyoto promises. The non-Kyoto countries, the USA, in 2006, at CO2 emissions by 1.4%. My guess is that the signature Kyoto and then reneging somehow makes countries feel noble and good about themselves, but my REC, which is not actually doing anything.

I have some information that you’re going to love! There is an information product available on the internet that will explain how the average homeowner can build and install their own independent power source and achieve complete energy efficiency! We’re talking about a magnetic power generator that creates zero cost electricity, and doesn’t rely on mother nature (ie. wind or solar energy). When installed and functioning, these magnetic generators create their own energy and they’ll power your home for free! Plus…you may be eligible for residential renewable energy tax credit!
