New England Wind is a great program. As an additional incentive, you can get energy grants for your town by signing up. MTC (http://www.cleanenergychoice.org/option2.htm) will match residential donations/green energy credits with an account for the town (for clean energy projects) PLUS they match the grant for low-income renewable energy projects. PLUS if 3% of your town households sign up, MTC gives an ADDITIONAL $50/member bonus to the grant fund. Amherst, for instance, already has 194 signup, they need 275 households to contribute and then they get $27500 for renewable initiatives. Up in Greenfield, we have only 2 sign-ups....236 to go!! The Greenfield Energy Committee is starting a push for Clean Energy Month (i.e. now) -Garth
