Why It Matters

Most electricity in the United States is still generated from coal and natural gas. Yet - and most people don’t realize this - it is now cheaper to build new wind and solar (source) than it is to build and run fossil fuel power plants. Renewable energy used to be the most expensive form of energy only 10 years ago. Today, the costs of solar, wind and lithium ion batteries are much lower. Things have changed!

While the exact energy mix varies from city to city, and the share of renewables has increased in recent years, progress is still needed. To help speed up this transition, you can start using 100% renewable energy to power your life.

By buying your electricity through a clean provider, you’re helping bring more renewable energy online - even if you don’t live near a wind or solar farm. If you’re like most people, it’ll only add about the cost of a cup of coffee to your monthly electric bill.
