We went with the option to buy all of our power from windsource. We had to agree to do it for a year, and they take care of the rest. We used 857 Kwh last month, so they bought 857 Kwh from a wind farm and charged us the extra expense. It was a very easy process and took about 5 minutes to get started. Call your electricity company and see if they offer something like that - it's probably getting more and more common as people become more aware of renewable resources. Hi SavingDiva,

Do you buy chunks before you pay your bill? How do you pay your bill with them? I'm a little confused at how this process works, but I'm really interested in using this type of renewable energy.
