Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    Virginia Focus: Green Power Switch

    Here is a program to help Virginia residents make the switch to green energy. The cost is generally less than 3 cents per kilowatt-hour more than you currently pay for energy. By participating you contribute to reducing carbon emissions, cleaning up Virginia's environment, and stimulating Virginia's economy. Three important ways of helping your local community, local environment and local economy, all for less than 2 cents per kilowatt-hour of energy you use. When my wife and I made a similar switch in New York, we barely noticed the difference in our energy bill. We also switched to compact fluorescent bulbs at the same time and the energy savings reduced our bill by one-third even with the small increase from buying green energy. Together, we reduced our carbon footprint by about 30% while overall saving money. I highly recommend the switch.

    Dominion Green Power

    Dominion Green Power is a voluntary program that gives you a practical and economical way to support renewable energy and harness the benefits.

    Renewable energy plays a role in improving our environment and strengthening our economy by:

    * Reducing carbon emissions
    * Creating "green" jobs and stimulating the economy
    * Reducing our dependence on fossil fuels
    * Enhancing our nation's energy security

    For as little as $2 a month you can help preserve the environment while strengthening the economy. Sign up today and begin making a powerful difference!
