It is often said that renewable energy is expensive. We have 100 percent renewable provided by our electric company. It costs two cents more per kilowatt than standard electricity, so our typical bill is $5 higher than it would be from dirtier sources. Our typical bills are around $50/month rather than $45 and that's for an all electric house, except oil heat, for two people. That's the terrible burden placed on us for not polluting our air and skies.
