Clean energy is now more of a reality than ever before and there are so many options out there for people looking to go green. So, we thought we’d create some great green alternative energy tips for you to use to make your home a more eco-friendly one.To switch over to green energy, the easiest way is to usually contact your current provider to see if they have an alternative to offer you. More and more companies are offering them these days, by harnessing renewable sources such as solar and wind power to offer their markets with electric service. For the consumer it costs more, since you will be paying a premium in order to offset the costs that are involved in offering an alternative source of energy. However, the price will vary. In Sacramento, you will pay $30 per month for solar, or 5 cents/kw hour. In Oregon, you will only have to pay .8 cent/kw hour for hydropower, geothermal or wind.
