DETAILS
* UNIVERSAL BENEFIT. The planet belongs to everyone, and protecting it is the responsibility of each of its owners. Green energy benefits the planet, which in turn benefits everyone now and in the future.
* CLEAN ENERGY. Green energy is clean energy. There is no danger of toxins polluting the ground or water due to a spill, and fumes and gases aren't released to pollute the air.
* SHOWS RESPONSIBILITY. If you own a business, then using sources of green energy demonstrates that you are taking responsibility for the impact on the environment that your business could have.
* REDUCE OIL USE. Oil is a fossil fuel, and its supply is limited. A low supply will send prices skyrocketing, and it will eventually run out.
* LOWER UTILITY BILLS. When hooked to a power grid, the average home spends more than 100 per month for electricity. Solar energy used to replace some or all of your power grid electricity will dramatically lower your costs for utilities.
* BETTER BUSINESS PLANNING. Utility bills fluctuate considerably during the various seasons, and the prices of fossil fuels can go up over a period of just a couple of weeks. With green energy powering your business, you have the ability to make a better estimate of power costs each month.
* Green sources of energy are renewable so there's no danger they'll run out, unlike with fossil fuels.
* Your home or your business could have a constant source of power, even during winter storms or blackouts that take down the power grids.
* Once you have installed solar panels, a wind turbine, or other source of green energy, there are no costs for fuel to run your source.
* BENEFITS DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. A combination of solar and wind power can bring electricity to the millions of people in developing countries who don't have the resources to use fossil fuels or power grids.
* Using green energy is practical because the sun, wind and water are widely available and provide clean, efficient energy.
* A windmill farm or other source of green energy can provide consistent, clean energy for a whole community consisting of hundreds of homes.
* Fossil fuels must be purchased from the countries that have supplies of coal, oil, etc. By using wind, the sun, biomass, water and other sources of green energy, every area of the world has what is needed by using combinations of multiple types of green energy.
* PROVIDES JOBS. A community that decides to build one or more wind turbines, solar energy plants, or other sources of green energy will stimulate the local economy by providing jobs.
* SAVE ECOSYSTEMS. The burning of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide and other gases that cause the atmosphere to trap in the sun's heat, raising temperatures and negatively impacting ecosystems throughout the world.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Green energy benefits everyone, and by switching to a source of renewable energy, you are reducing the amount of damage you cause to the environment while reducing your costs for heating and powering your home. If you own a business and switch to green energy, then the benefits will likely be on a larger scale. Essentially, everyone should consider green energy.
