U.S. Energy Savings Corp. Offering Green Energy Option to New York Residential Customers
Posted on: Tuesday, 13 November 2007, 12:01 CST
U.S. Energy Savings Corp. (www.usesc.com), a leading energy retailer with operations in New York, is pleased to announce the launch of its Green Energy Option (GEO). Through GEOpower, electricity customers can choose to offset the electricity they purchase from polluting generation sources such as coal and natural gas by paying a small premium towards the purchase of renewable energy certificates (i.e. "green energy") which represent power generated from green sources like wind power and bio-mass. Likewise, with GEOgas, participating customers can now offset the negative impacts associated with their household natural gas use by purchasing of emissions credits (i.e. "carbon offsets").
As energy consumers, we all contribute to the release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. We do so every time we turn our lights on or our thermostats up, drive our cars, mow our lawns, or even order for pizza delivery. Many scientists believe that global warming is due in large part to the recent significant increase in the level of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere. Energy consumers who enroll in U.S. Energy Savings Corp.'s price protection program, in addition to receiving peace of mind from volatile energy supply prices, can now also mitigate the negative environmental impacts of their everyday energy consumption by also enrolling in GEO.
"Traditional electricity generation from the burning of fossil fuels is a major contributor to the release of greenhouse gases. Similarly, the use of natural gas in homes also adds considerably to CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Now, our customers can do something to minimize or offset those largely unavoidable emissions," said Brennan Mulcahy, CEO of U.S. Energy Savings Corp.
Customers can choose their preferred level of participation in GEO by purchasing from 1 to 5 units of GEOpower and/or GEOgas, as applicable, to offset from 20% to 100% of their household electricity or natural gas consumption--related emissions. "GEO is a simple, convenient program designed to help all of us energy consumers reduce the size of our carbon footprints," Mr. Mulcahy added. "It may seem like a small step, but this program can make a big difference in reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions."
