How much will it cost you to make a difference?

We estimate that the average monthly electricity use for an individual is about 250 kilowatt hours (kWh), and the average monthly electricity use for a household is about 750 kilowatt hours (kWh). We are offering GREEN electricity for just 1.5-2.5 cents per kWh more than you would pay for standard electricity. This means that for about $7 per person or about $19 per household you can have the security of knowing that your energy dollars are helping the environment, the economy and our security.

Now, for this month, in celebration of the season of giving, IDT ENERGY is giving away “Green Energy”. If you sign up this month till the end of December we will ‘upgrade’ your electricity to green for free.

This is a showing of our commitment to our environment …. and to you.

So it is odd to hear it claim that it lacks the power to slow global warming by limiting the emission of harmful gases. But that is just what it will argue to the Supreme Court tomorrow, in what may be the most important…

PLANO, Texas (Reuters) - It can’t be good for your arteries but it is good for the environment.

In the U.S. South, folks like their Thanksgiving Day turkey deep fried — and the city of Plano north of Dallas collects the bird fat from residents for use in the biofuels industry.

“This is our busiest time, the week after Thanksgiving. We collect about 500 gallons of turkey fat during that time,” said Lois Woolf, a Plano City worker, as she hoisted a plastic container of oil left outside someone’s home for collection.
