Bullfrog Power

I want everyone to be aware of this wonderful company that is popping up in the news called Bullfrog Power. Basically Bullfrog power is your everyday hydro company, except that all of their hydro power comes from renewable, environmentally friendly sources like wind and non-invasive water generation. By comparison, conventional power is generated largely by burning coal, one of the dirtiest energy sources we have, possibly THE dirtiest. Bullfrog admits that their product costs slightly more than normal hydro, supposedly about a dollar a day more. Given this, I would assume this is on the low side just because it is in their best interests to do so, but I wouldn't think it's far off. Even with the extra cost, Bullfrog takes the initiative to give you tons of easy ways to permanently make your energy consumption more efficient, thereby more than making up for the extra cost. This includes things such as using flourescent light bulbs, insulating your water heater, installing low-flow shower heads, and properly sealing your windows and doors (also using double-paned windows) These are all easy things to do, and I am really very excited if this is the direction the world is heading. Bullfrog currently serves Ontario and Alberta, and already has some large businesses signing up for their product, including BMO. Obviously they can't serve everyone, but they are making a huge difference and it's really quite exciting. You really can't imagine the difference this makes to the environment, if you could do only one thing for the environment, this should be it. Hydro is such an enormous part of greenhouse emissions, and this company lowers that part of your footprint literally to zero. Incredible

on that note, the thought for the day is... "at what point does greed transcend selfishness and become downright irresponsible? If the smallest sacrifice could make the biggest difference, would you make it? What is worth changing, and what would you give up to do it?"
