Texas is one confusing place. Today I went to sign up for electricity at my new place and discovered that Texas's electric industry is deregulated. What that means is lots of choices for who your electric provider is. There are something like 20 different providers for my new apartment's area alone (in south Houston).
Some of the green companies, like Green Mountain, really appeal to me, as they get all of their power from wind and solar sources. I'd really like to talk with my money and get clean power, but I don't know if there's any difference in reliability or service.
Are there any Texans out there know anything about these green companies?
Is there any risk with going with a company like Green Mountain and saving the planet? If they're a quality outfit, I'd love to use them and support renewable energy.
If I don't find out anything, I suppose I'll just signing up for the behemoth Reliant, since they're the biggest, and presumably have more technicians, etc. I figure it's a safe bet, even though they get most of their power from coal and gas (yuck!). I could then switch farther down the road when I figure this stuff out.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
