Why Switch?

Over the past 50 years, people have truly recognized global warming and the threat it poses. Every year, thousands of scientists spend countless hours trying to figure out how to reduce the effects of climate change. The most promising solution by far is green energy. By swapping over to green energy, we can cut the problem off at the root. First though, what exactly is green energy?

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, "green power is a subset of renewable energy. It represents those renewable energy resources and technologies that provide the greatest environmental benefit." Many people don't realize that this "environmental benefit" doesn't just impact far-off tropics, it also impacts your local environment. Conventional power sources such as oil often ravage environments when events like oil spills happen. In contrast, green energy doesn't have this risk.

How can you help invest in green energy and reduce carbon emissions? It's actually pretty simple. You can buy solar panels for your house, purchase a geothermal heating system, or even just recycle. There are so many ways to save money and save the environment at the same time!

Recently, the government passed the Public Land Renewable Energy Development Act of 2023, which gives land grants to companies creating green energy. This is similar to what happened with railroad grants in the 19th century, which caused an economic boom. Make sure not to miss out on the great opportunities that this offers consumers!
