easy to switch too.....


they are the only green energy provider that actually owns their own
windfarms (i believe) rather than just buying energy from other
windfarms or investing in windfarms.

if you get your gas from them they use the profits from that for more
windfarms too..


true about the phone chargers (well, all chargers really), that really
does suck. you can tell what is using power even though you don't have
anything being charged by just touching the charger. usually they
still give off heat.


doh!
