In some states that are energy deregulated, consumers do not have to worry about buying offsets, while their utility company keeps buying carbon based and polluting energy.

Imagine all homes, all computers and appliances being powered by wind, and plugging your electric car to recharge at night, from wind energy..

A totally green home and car (with a zero carbon footprint) is possible now, in deregulated energy states such as Texas and New York. Al Gore says it can be done, and here is an example of how it is possible, TODAY.



We need to deregulate all states in the USA and let consumers pick who to buy from and what kind of (green) energy they want.. This is happening now in Texas and New York.



Energy Consultants help residential customers save up to 28% on their energy bill in deregulated states such as Texas and New York and give a free vacation coupon just for signing up.



Compare electricity rates from different electricity providers for free. 100% clean green wind power is available. Sign up for lower rates online in just a few minutes;

There is a huge demand for energy consultants (in any state) helping others save money on electric bills, such as the above. Energy consultants also educate people on why it is important to switch to green energy. Contact me if interested in knowing more about how to get into this kind of career.

You can also choose travel companies / hotels with sustainability programs. For example, Whole Travel (www.wholetravel.com) allows you to purchase carbon offsets for your trip at check-out, and ranks the sustainability of the hotels, resorts, and tour operators on the website.
