The Cost of Carbon-Based Energy

Here are some of the facts about traditional carbon-based (coal, oil or natural gas) electricity:

  • Home energy costs have increased about 9% per year for the past 7 years in the Philadelphia area.

  • The Pennsylvania energy cap expires at the end of 2010. Realistic estimates are for the cost of energy to jump by as much as 40% once this cap is lifted. This cap has artificially held down the cost of electricity. In fact, in the Philadelphia area, PECO is running commercials that are getting everyone ready for a HUGE rate increase!

  • The Cap and Trade program which is next on the Obama administration's agenda will significantly increase the cost of carbon-based energy. Whether or not you believe that we are causing global warming, you will indeed pay dearly for electricity once this program gets through Congress.

  • No new coal-fired electricity plants have been built in many years, due to environmental concerns. This has created power shortages in many parts of the country, leading to additional increases in the cost.

Answer this question - Do you want to be free of all these future costs of electricity? If the answer is YES, then you need to look into getting your own solar power system. Contact a solar consultant today to see if solar is right for you.
