The debate about renewable energy is heated, but there is no denying the severity of the challenge facing us: there has been little long-range investment in our energy system while we have been harvesting north sea oil. But the chickens are coming home to roost: where will our electricity come from?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the primary gas responsible for Climate Change and conventional power stations are the biggest source of CO2 emissions. Therefore, one of the simplest and most effective solutions is to switch to a 100% renewable electricity supplier. Using the power of the wind, sun and running water to provide electricity does not generate CO2 during its generation. Wind power has its critics but most thoughtful environmentalists ? who wish to defend the countryside from predatory development ? accept it as an inevitable, and least-bad, option. Many consider it to be part of the potential solution to our electricity-supply problems.
We buy all our electricity from Good Energy, which is based in Wiltshire and supplies only 100% renewable electricity to homes and businesses in the UK. Their parent company, the Monkton Group only invests in renewables too. We rate Good Energy as among the best of all the renewable suppliers. If you switch to them you will have several benefits: the real pleasure of dealing with a dedicated team, with human beings on the end of a telephone line; and the satisfaction of knowing that you are really making a difference and reducing your impact on Climate Change. In 2004 the average Good Energy customer saved two tonnes of CO2 emissions, the equivalent to not driving over 5,000 miles in a petrol car.
