Feb. 14, 2006: Green Power Purchases Increase Nearly 100 Percent Since 2004
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced its Green Power Partners are now purchasing more than 4 million megawatt hours of renewable energy, an increase of nearly 100 percent since the end of 2004.
EPA says its 2006 Top 25 green power purchasers are buying enough energy to power more than 300,000 homes a year, which is also comparable to removing the emissions of nearly 400,000 cars from the road annually.
