I dont know why I just recalled but some time ago I got a letter from my electric company informing me that now I could buy part or all of my electric power from a wind farm. The percent I could choose to buy from the wind farm would cost about double what I pay now. I pay about $135.00 USD every month. I am on averaging. I hear the senators taling about alternative energy and I am for clean power but it strikes me that the government should get in on the act and not be up to local power companies. I think most people whould not choose to pay double for power if they did not have to knowing that others would buy power from burning coal or gas and buying it cheaper. It seems to me the federal should make the energy companies add the cost of all power they make and average it. Maybe make them use wind for a certain percent. At least if all customers have to pay the same it would be better. As it is each state has companies that produce power and even here there is rural power companies and there is city power grids. Seems it all should be coordinated.
