We are all the time hearing about installing solar panels or micro wind turbines in order to produce our own renewable energy. The only question is the cost, it can cost many thousands of pounds just to get started and the payback can be many years. So what the solution.

A much quicker and easier way to make a discrepancy is by switching your electricity provider to one that produces electricity from sustainable means such as wind or solar. If you do not want to switch your current provider may have a greener tariff that you can authentically switch to.

The current misconception is that it will cost much more to buy green vigor from your own provider or from someone else company. I am not going to green wash the facts because you can end up paying over the odds if you select the wrong tariff.

There are any way companies that produce truly green power and will match your current electricity costs. They can now do this as the cost of producing renewable vigor is slowing falling production it more contentious with coal and gas fired powered stations.

Renewables are classed as green electricity, but unfortunately so is nuclear because it does not produce vast quantities of carbon even though the waste nuclear produces is radioactive and arguably much more dangerous than carbon.

Power generated by other means such as from coal powered and gas powered stations is classed as brown energy. Most of our power is currently from these sources and they are most likely the source of your electricity.

Some so called green tariffs do have some caveats that state they may be topped up with brown electricity when not sufficient green is available. You can in fact end up paying for a green tariff where you think you are getting most electricity produced by wind turbines but in fact most of the power is generated by coal or gas.

The only way to be sure you are authentically production a discrepancy is by selecting one of the smaller green companies that only provide electricity from sustainable sources. Every time they get a new buyer you know that they are investing the money in more wind turbines or solar panels. The greater the demand the most that is invested in greener technologies which both bolsters the green economy. Economies of scale means that renewables become more contentious and one day will be economy than fossil fuels.
