How Choosing Green Can Save You Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Renewable
Texas is still the world leader for Renewable energy generation. Find out our reasons why you can save more green electricity plans.<\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Texas leaders seem to have turned against renewable energy<\/a>. Even so, there are many reasons to invest in green energy, from boosting the local economy to the environmental benefits. And Texans also enjoy the cheap electricity<\/a> that renewable sources can provide. So, these are our top reasons to choose a green energy plan over non-renewable types. Plus, we’ll run through some of the best 100% renewable plans available right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Five Biggest Reasons to Choose Renewable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Great for the environment: Burning fossil fuels to create energy also creates nasty byproducts like greenhouse gases. This pollutes our air and environment. Plus, it\u2019s also the number one contributor to global warming. Renewable energy keeps our air clean and requires no limited resources. <\/li>
  2. Invest in the future: It\u2019s no surprise that green energy plans are the future. And your power to choose a green plan is worth a lot more in the fight against global warming than banning plastic straws. Buying a renewable plan creates demand, and investors will be more inclined to turn to wind and solar over fossil fuels.<\/li>
  3. Texas pride: Texas dominates wind and solar power production in the country. So, buying electricity made on a Texan wind farm helps advance renewable energy and keeps Texas on the top.<\/li>
  4. Create jobs: Imported fossil fuels decrease the local economy. But building new wind farms, for example, creates thousands of jobs. And maintaining a one-gigawatt wind farm keeps around 120 people on the payroll.<\/li>
  5. The cheaper option: All other reasons to choose a green plan would be moot if it wasn\u2019t financially lucrative. But, thanks to cheaper energy production, renewable plans are considerably cheaper in Texas than non-renewable plans. So, if you want a lower electricity bill, look no further.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Best 12-Month Green Plans in Dallas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Some of the cheapest electricity plans in Dallas right now are green. Consider these 12-month fixed-rate plans if you need a cheap deal for the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    One of the best plans right now is Come and Take It 12 by Energy Texas<\/a>. At 1,000 kWh usage, the average rate of 12 cents per kWh includes a $4.95 base charge, 7.15 cents per kWh energy charge, plus delivery charges. Your monthly bill at this usage would be only $120. While the $250 early termination fee is higher than average, this plan is 100% renewable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Another great green plan is Simply Select 12 by Rythm<\/a>. This plan doesn\u2019t have a base charge, the slightly higher energy charge of 7.9 cents per kWh raises the monthly bill estimate at the same usage to $123. But, the early termination fee is only $10 per month remaining, which is a lot more favorable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    In comparison, the cheapest non-renewable plan right now is Conservation 12 by Reliant Energy<\/a>. With your electricity bill around $127, you\u2019re losing money choosing non-renewable. Especially if you use more than 1,000 kWh per month. Below that threshold, this plan\u2019s energy charge is only 7.73 cents per kWh. However, above 1,000, it rises to 9.73 cents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
