What is cleaner electricity?
Electricity from generation sources that produce little to no air pollution (carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) and/or radioactive waste, especially when compared to traditional sources of electric generation (i.e., coal and nuclear). For example, Green Mountain Energy electricity is dramatically cleaner than typical system power.
Most people dont know that the traditional generation of electricity is the leading cause of industrial air pollution in the U. S. Cleaner electricity is from generation sources that produce little to no air pollution (carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) and/or radioactive waste, especially when compared to traditional sources of electric generation (i.e., coal and nuclear). For example, Green Mountain Energy electricity is dramatically cleaner than typical system power. Sources of cleaner electricity include wind, solar power, biomass, landfill gas, geothermal and hydropower.
