Daniel, it's time to make sure that whenever you use electricity at home, you are using it for a good cause.

Ethical Electric, a new company founded and staffed by progressive movement organizers, has a simple signup form that allows you to immediately stop using fossil fuels and instead use 100% clean Pennsylvania wind power.

If you sign up, you will get the same electric bill and same electric service that you get now. What happens is that Ethical Electric starts sending electricity produced entirely from a local wind farm to your current utility provider. And voila, fossil fuels are no longer being burned for you to get electricity.

Please click here to start using 100% local wind power from Ethical Electric, or give them a call at 888-763-7659.

I personally know the founder of Ethical Electric, Tom Matzzie, from his time at MoveOn. I've worked with Tom and members of his team for years on fights like ending the Iraq war and defeating Joe Lieberman in the 2006 Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

When I first heard Tom was founding an electric company, I thought it was about the craziest thing I'd ever heard. I mean, who founds an electric company?

Now I think it's kind of genius. Ethical Electric has put together an easy way to take direct action against climate change and support other progressive causes at the same time:

  • This is 100% wind power, not a mixture of renewable and fossil fuel sources like you would get from some providers.

  • The wind power is produced in central Pennsylvania, not too far from where you live, through a public-private partnership that benefits a local public school district.

  • A share of Ethical Electric's proceeds are reinvested back into progressive organizations and causes, including Daily Kos. Members vote to determine which causes and organizations receive funding.

  • Finally, it's easy. You will get the same bill from the same utility provider. All you have to do to get started is fill out a short form, or give them a call at 888-763-7659.

Please, click here to start powering your home with 100% local wind energy from Ethical Electric. It's time to feel good every time you turn on a light.

Keep fighting,
