1.Clean up Texas's air. Buying wind power
reduces smog, acid rain, and air pollution.
2.Renewable energy. Wind is inexhaustible.
3.For kids' sake. Our oil, natural gas, and coal
won't last forever. We need to begin to develop
our state's wind and solar resources now.
4.Your dollar$ count. Utility companies are
spending millions of dollars to build wind
farms, but it's your money that's making it
happen.
5.Cheap energy is a myth. Yes, wind is a bit
more expensive, but think about the hidden costs
of cheap energy: smog, acid rain and snow, oil
spills, climate change, human health impacts,
nuclear waste, and lost salmon species. Wind is
the real bargain.
6.It's your choice. For the first time in
history, you get to choose where your power
comes from.
7.Curb your own pollution. Buying wind power is
a cheap, easy way to dramatically reduce the
environmental impacts of your energy use.
8.Climate change. Each cent you spend on wind
power keeps a pound of carbon dioxide, the chief
greenhouse gas, out of the air. Let's be penny
wise, not pound foolish.
9.Bang for the buck. For the price of a six-pack
of Coke or a single video rental each month, you
can save 1,200 pounds of coal and avoid 2,400
pounds of air pollution each year.
10.It's the right thing to do.
