Peddling False Hope

This reminds me of the major let down I received when I checked into the Green Power option being touted by my local power company.

For weeks I had visions of wind, solar and water power dancing in my head and lighting up my home. I would gladly pay $4.95 per 100 blocks for this green power... until I read the fine print. Nope, there's no guarantee that I would actually receive any of this wonderful, happy and healthy green power.

The fireplace holds the charred remains of my childish dreams. I debated whether I was being selfish for wanting this power actually delivered to my specific home. And whether I was a bad environmentalist for not wanting some random Joe to benefit from my benevolence.

But just like the conclusions made about this card, I decided I had the right to be angray and refuse to participate. Who knows what will really happen to my purchase (AKA: donation). Why should some shmuck who could care less about receiving clean energy benefit from my dollars? Well, he shouldn't. And until I know that I specifically can, the power company can keep it's green power scam.On Are the wind credit cards deceptive? posted 3 years ago 20 Responses
