whole foods wind cards
These cards, like so much else that's happening in the REC market right now, are fraudulent.
About 8 years ago we helped invent the idea of buying green power in 100 kwh blocks here in Colorado. Green pricing programs, nationwide, have leveraged many hundreds of millions of dollars for new RE projects.
RECs, in contrast, and with a few critical exceptions, have leveraged hardly any.
If REC marketers want to be taken seriously they have to pony up some information about the sources of their RECs, their vintage, and what how exactly they think these products are contributing to a greener planet.
Otherwise, they are just proving PT Barnum correct: there is an (enviro) fool born every minute.
The only good RECs I know of are provided by Bonneville Environment Foundation and Community Energy. Native Energy, if they can pull off another wind project on Indian land, redgreen power, is another contender.
