On a related note, I've switched my apartment electricity to "green energy." My electricity won't be directly drawn from wind and hydro power but, by paying a premium rate, I help subsidize New York State's alternative energy projects. Although I do have some minor reservations about hydro and wind power, they're far better than our more traditional power sources.
It's easy to make such a switch in most areas. Visit Green-E "Pick Your Power" for more information on your local options. In New York City, I contacted ConEdison Solutions/GREEN Power. Because ConEdison was already my supplier, switching to their alternative plan took only a few minutes.

I'm also including a photograph by Joel Sartore, scanned from the most recent issue of National Geographic. The fine looking critter below is a maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) or stilt-legged fox, photographed in the Pantanal of southwest Brazil. I prefer the more descriptive nickname since it closely resembles a fox.

Let us know how much more you are paying, I'm curious.
Here in Quebec most (like 90% -- not sure) of our electricity comes from hydro, with some wind and nuclear thrown in, and since we have a state-owned power utility (Hydro-Québec), we pay about 4 times less for our electricity than the rest of North America, and H-Q gives about a billion and a half of its profits to the government each year (which is not bad for a province with 7 million people).
Time Running Out on Hendrix Boyhood Home
Time is running short for a group hoping to make the boyhood home of Jimi Hendrix the centerpiece ... Bradford Kogut said in court Thursday that officials in suburban Renton, where Hendrix is buried, have agreed to allow the home to be moved to property there, adding that formal approval is likely around Aug.
