Apparently, you used to have the OPTION of paying more for 'greener' energy in Austin, but they figured out it cost a lot more to make it green than the color is used to be.
The ignorance in this statement, by someone who is supposed to be in a leadership position is mind-boggling and rife with propaganda. A leadership role in 'heading off global warming??'
Where do these people GET this stuff?

The price of GreenChoice has nearly doubled since early 2008. A new GreenChoice subscription would now raise the monthly summer bill of an average Austin homeowner from $93.35 to $151.85,
