[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 75986, member: 484"] Gee interesting article. But how does that work. Esp like starbucks and kinkos? Lets see, you have a wind farm in say podunk holler. It generates electricity. Now we have say 30 kinkos and starbucks within a 50 mile radius. How do they get that wind driven electricity? Do they run special wires on the poles that state, for green renewable electric use only? Or do they tap into the regular grid, the same one you and I use, to get the power? The same power grid that every one else uses? So tell me, how can they be sure that they are the ones using the green power and not the power generated by that smoke belching coal plant next door? Just wondering. BTW, i am all for renewable energy. But acres of wind driven turbines that kill birds, Dams across streams and rivers that alter the scenery and fishing are not my idea of a good idea. Rather focus on other means. d [/QUOTE]
