So today I signed up to use wind power for my electricity. I am paying an extra $7 / month for 400KW Hours (the majority of our power bill). I encourage you all to take a look at your power company's webpage to see if you can do something similar to support clean renewable energy. Out here in Portland PGE has two options -- one where 100% of your power is from a variety of renewable energy sources and costs like $0.008 per KWh (a couple bucks per month). They have a second option where you can buy units ($3.50 / 200KWh unit) of Oregon Wind Power to help support the development of local renewable power sources. This is a relatively cheap thing you can do to help move our country towards clean renewable energy :).
You can read about the PGE plans here.
I took a quick look around the Com-Ed website (in Chicago) and was unable to find anything like this out there :(. Please post a comment if you find something similar in your neck of the woods :).
