[Hidden-tech] Dominion for home electric service?

[Matt Lampiasi]

This time to the list:

I just found out you're right. WMECO refuses to participate in the "on 
bill" program I found. HOWEVER you can still do the New England Wind 
<http://www.newenglandwind.org/wind/home.php> which is a separate thing 
off the bill. According to a rep there I just spoke with it's exactly 
the same thing as the on bill option. You pick an amount that you want 
to spend extra each month, it's 100% tax deductible and the money is put 
right back into local Renewable Energy energy sources (I can vouch for 
this). But for more info contact them. Mass Electric custs do have the 
newengland greenstart <http://massenergy.com/Green.GS.html> option (same 
thing just not wind centric).

Sorry for that misinformation, good news that it looks like you do have 
a choice though, and I'm glad I found out about that distinction myself.
