Support Wind, Feel Good - Burn Money!


We suppose you'd get just as much and generate a little heat for your own home this winter if you'd just take a match to some cash, but if you'd rather, you can give it to Renewable Choice Energy in Colorado.

They're unselfishly providing regular consumers with the opportunity to buy "Wind Power Cards". Renewable Choice Energy is big into selling "renewable energy credits" to businesses and government entities. With the Wind Power Card regular folks can get in on the game.

There's only one slight problem. The card doesn't give you any energy, or credits, or anything else. It is magnetized so you can stick it on your fridge, but that's about it. We guess the "credit" they're selling you is credit for being dumb. The money just goes into the Renewable Choice Energy coffers.

But you can feel good about helping "the environment"?! Sometimes we just shake our heads.
Pretty clever if you can get away with it.
