Green Energy solutions to Global Warming, Green House Effect, Green House Gas and Global Dimming

Global Warming, Green House Effect, Green House Gas and Global Dimming. You may be surprised to hear that many of your existing energy suppliers have an environmental conscience, actively and financially supporting green electricity and energy efficiency. Whatever the scientific arguments, the search for more productive renewable energy sources is one of the main goals for this century.

Most suppliers will have a general environmental policy, for private households some also offer separate green energy tariffs. These are usually one of two types;

The customer pays an additional payment to the regular tariff, sometimes doubled by the supplier, which funds renewable energy projects.
The customer pays a different renewable energy tariff, each unit of electricity used is replaced by the supplier from renewable sources.
