How does purchasing renewable energy help the environment?
Electricity generation is a leading cause of industrial air pollution in the U.S. Most electricity comes from coal, nuclear, and other non-renewable sources. Producing energy from these resources takes a toll on our environment, polluting our air, land and water. Renewable energy sources can be used to produce electricity with fewer environmental impacts. It is possible to make electricity from renewable energy sources without producing CO2, the leading cause of global climate change.
