		<description>Good point Rebecca,

Choosing a green energy supplier is like &#039;voting&#039; for green energy. I suppose, if an energy suppliers market share is measured by revenue, then spending more with them is the same as upping your vote.

This really captures my point. Is it right to conserve energy indiscriminantly? No, I&#039;d argue this is a silly approach.

We create technology to improve our lives. For me, if we are conserving indiscriminently then we are &#039;wasting&#039; our innovations, to some degree.

At the same time, if we go around using electricity like there&#039;s no tomorrow, one day there might be no tomorrow.

Really it comes down to, &#039;what is waste?&#039;.

I&#039;ll be tackling that question in my next article.

Also, check back to the Consortium site over the next month, as we are adding a Green Energy Service, offering solar power, wind power and other green energy solutions for our customers.

I&#039;ll post up the new links here when they are ready.</description>

		<description>Another point that falls within your question that I&#039;ve struggled with is what to do when you purchase green energy.  Is it still better to be energy efficient then?  Or is it better to use more energy under a green energy scheme in order to &quot;invest&quot; in a way, since the premium you&#039;re paying for the green energy (supposedly) goes to more green energy projects?</description>
