Climate Change – Action Team Neighborhood Sun

Go Solar (for apartment dwellers and everyone else)

Now is the time to switch from fossil fuels to alternative, sustainable, renewable energy – like Solar power. Climate change, air pollution, the war in Ukraine and the power of Russia (due to its gas and oil resources) are all immediate reasons for each of us to take the small step of lowering our carbon emissions. Switching to solar is so easy and saves you money at the same time.
UUCC has been partnering with Neighborhood Sun to help people switch and to promote the use of local clean energy by signing up for community solar. You will save at least 10% on your electric bill. At least 60 UUCC families have done this so far. There are local solar farms right here in Maryland for you to join. Spots are limited. Please use this URL to sign up.

WIN WIN WIN WIN

You save money, UUCC earns money, we support local jobs and energy, you get off of dirty fossil fuels and encourage the expansion of clean solar energy.

Additionally-  Multiple other wind and solar suppliers with green options are also available via BGE, including Clean Choice, Green Mountain and WGL. BGE and other utilities allow you to specify the source of generation of your electricity.  BGE remains your supplier and maintains the electric lines to your home.

The amount of GHG (in kg) produced per kWh from generating electricity depends on the fuel used:  coal = 909, oil = 821, natural gas = 465; solar = 105; wind = 13; nuclear = 6; hydro = 4.  BGE’s average is currently about 400kg/kw.
