I just renewed an agreement with TXU. Some of TXU's power is generated by wind but most by coal, natural gas and nuclear. The power I consume is probably "greener" than yours now for whatever thats worth.

Green Mountain Energy, which markets itself as green, clean, environmentally friendly, renewable, and all that claptrap uses wind power, natural gas, and burns industrial wood waste from the E Tx lumber industry (hey, wood is renewable, after all). The more wind power, the more expensive the cost.
