should i change to 50% or 100% wind power energy?
what r some pros and cons of using wind power energy?
i know its green, less gas, coal, nuclear energy will be use less and it will save some money every month
but they asked if i want 50% or 100% wind energy as if theres some thing bad about it…is there?
You should figure out which one costs more. The reason why they are asking is probably because you will get a different energy baseline for each kind of power used. They are essentially asking you if you are willing to pay more per kilowatt hour in order to use "green energy"
So Washington gas send me a letter asking if i would like to change to wind power energy?

Not really. It can interfere with birds/bats but environmentally it’s better than just about anything else.

you can use upto 90% wind energy for your utilisation, there is no harm

Wind power is killing more birds and bats than BP’s oil spill.
Did they tell you how much more the wind power was going to cost you?

It is typically more expensive for you to designate "green" power. It is a method to subsidize the building of more wind power, but in reality wind power is not any more "green" than nuclear power. The intermittent nature of wind power makes it necessary to have some sort of "backup" power, usually gas, wind uses much more concrete and steel than nuclear power for the same amount of megawatts. Wind power actually has a larger "footprint" than nuclear power, it takes more land to produce the same amount of power. We need to explore all the methods of producing power while minimizing the effect on the environment, this is one way of donating to that cause and voting with your $$.
