Top 50 U.S. Purchasers of Green Power as Ranked by the EPA May 2nd, 2009
Who is buying clean energy and how much are they buying? Answers to questions like these are important for consumers to know. The EPA’s Green Power Partnership tries to answer these questions by providing a sense of which organizations are conscientious about their energy use. Aside from political votes, one of the most powerful tools the public can use to have a say in the energy debate is their collective wallet. Money talks. Companies listen to what it’s saying and where it’s going. Companies that incorporate sustainable practices into their business model not only reduce expenses but may get a PR boost by touting their green credentials to consumers who are increasing interested in sustainability. The EPA’s ranking of organizations based on the amount of green power they use also raises awareness for renewable energy. As mentioned on the EPA’s website:
The Green Power Partnership is a voluntary program that encourages organizations to buy green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with purchased electricity use. The Partnership currently has hundreds of Partner organizations voluntarily purchasing billions of kilowatt-hours of green power annually. Partners include a wide variety of leading organizations such as Fortune 500 companies, small and medium sized businesses, local, state, and federal governments, and colleges and universities.
The most recent National Top 50 Green Power Purchasers can be seen in their entirety here. Below is the top 10.
Annual Green Power Usage (kWh) GP % of Total Electricity Use* Organization Type Providers Green Power Resources
1. Intel Corporation
1,301,200,000 46% Information Technology PNM, Sterling Planet Wind
2. PepsiCo

8. U.S. Air Force

(Federal) 3 Phases Renewables, Basin Electric Power Cooperative, Bonneville Power Administration, Colorado Springs Utilities, Constellation NewEnergy, Georgia Power, Minnkota Power Cooperative, NextEra Energy Resources, Oklahoma Gas & Electric, Rocky Mountain Generation Cooperative, Sterling Planet, TransAlta Energy Marketing, WindCurrent Biogas, Biomass, Solar, Wind
9. Cisco Systems, Inc.
400,996,000 46% Information Technology Austin Energy, Sterling Planet Wind
10. City of Houston, TX
350,400,000 27% Govt. (Local, Municipal) Reliant Energy Wind
A few interesting points:
1) The chart shows the enormity of the energy used by the U.S. military. The Air Force, only one of five service branches, is the 8th largest purchaser of green power featured on the list but those 426 million kWh represent only 5% of the Air Force’s total electricity use. Their campus, by the way, has a plan to be energy independent by 2015.
2) The city of Houston, TX is the highest ranking municipality on the list. Texas has the country’s largest amount of installed wind power capacity. This includes the largest wind farm in the world, Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center, which has 421 wind turbines that generate enough electricity to power 220,000 homes per year (from the department of energy’s kid’s page).
3) Sterling Planet comes up often as a provider in the list. A cursory web search showed they are based outside Atlanta and focus their efforts in three areas: 1) offering White TagsTM energy efficiency certificates 2) providing renewable energy certificates or RECs and 3) working with carbon offsets. If any one has more information about Sterling Planet’s activities, please let us know.
The EPA explains that “green power purchases help reduce the environmental impacts of electricity use and support the development of new renewable generation capacity nationwide.” The amount of green power purchases is limited only to an organization’s U.S. operations must come from U.S.-based green power resources. Organizations can meet EPA purchase requirements using any combination of three different product options (1) Renewable Energy Certificates, (2) On-site generation, and (3) Utility green power products.
One of the beauties of the electric grid is that it can get greener over time as renewable technologies expand and plug into the system in increasing numbers. Combined with smart grid updates and smart meters, which help conserve energy, there is enormous potential to green the domestic grid.

WQMP grants support a broad range of activities, such as setting standards, monitoring the quality of the water, developing plans to restore polluted waters, and identifying ways to protect healthy waters from becoming polluted. States are also encouraged to use these funds for more innovative planning activities, such as developing plans to adapt to climate change, analyzing trends in water availability and use, and creating low-impact development programs. Grants are awarded to state agencies and some of the funds can be awarded to regional and interstate planning organizations.

In his first 100 days, Obama has made "spending to promote renewable energy technologies that will generate jobs and an effort to shift the nation to a low-carbon economy" key priorities. Congress is responding to his call, drafting the American Clean Energy and Security Act to establish a green economy through national standards for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and global warming pollution. John Fetterman, the mayor of Braddock, PA, a failing steel town, told Congress last week that his town needs a change from the pollution-based status quo. Silicon Valley venture capitalist John Doerr warned Congress in January that "of the top 30 companies in solar, wind, and advanced battery technologies in the world today, only six of them are U.S. firms." But conservative politicians and the fossil-fuel industry are questioning the green recovery. "Investing taxpayers' money in developing green jobs as an economic and environmental panacea," a paper from the fossil-fuel think tank Institute for Energy Research has argued, "are likely, like a Ponzi scheme, to result in empty bank accounts." Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) claimed on the Senate floor that "271,000 oil and gas jobs would be destroyed annually by the administration's proposed new taxes and fees on energy." "We must avoid green jobs proposals that result in killing millions of existing jobs to pay for new green jobs, require expensive taxpayer subsidies, or pay low wages," argued Sen. Kit Bond (R-MO) on Monday.
GREEN JOBS ARE REAL: The only "Ponzi scheme" when it comes to energy policy is continuing a debt-and-depletion fossil fuel economy. Over the last decade, Americans have witnessed what the United States looks like without clean energy policies: Electricity and gasoline prices skyrocketed, fossil-fuel industries profited, pollution rose, and the economy veered from bubble to near bust. A global economy dependent on non-renewable resources, by definition, cannot be sustained indefinitely -- even if pollution were not a concern. "Green jobs are not so much created as they are bought with massive taxpayers subsidies," argued Bond. History does not support Bond's argument. According to a University of California report, "California's energy-efficiency policies created nearly 1.5 million jobs from 1977 to 2007," while keeping per-capita electricity demand 40 percent below the national average. Hank Ryan, chair of the California Small Business Association, explained that energy regulations have given "California small businesses a competitive edge over their counterparts in other states because while they're wasting money on inefficiency, we're spending it on employees, building a better product, advertising, and capital improvements." In reality, the Center for American Progress writes, "most green jobs are familiar jobs, repurposed and expanded through new investments in a low-carbon economy." For instance, constructing wind farms "creates demand for steel workers and long-haul freight shipping. Energy-efficiency retrofits for buildings require roofers and insulators." Green jobs, in short, are the "person-hours" involved in realizing the clean-energy transformation. As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch responded to Bond, "Green jobs in Missouri? We'll take 'em."
GREEN JOBS DON'T KILL OTHER JOBS: A popular conservative myth is that energy standards, limits on pollution, and public investment in clean energy will destroy other jobs. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Fox News have cast doubt on a green economic recovery by "touting a Spanish study" from a libertarian think tank, Fundacion Juan de Mariana, showing that "for every green job created [in Spain], 2.2 jobs are lost." The Spanish study, which examines the effect of Spain's support for its renewable industry since 2000, has also been touted by industry front groups, conservative blogs, and right-wing think tanks. The report relies on bad numbers, grossly underestimating that Spain's renewable program created only 50,000 jobs, when other estimates are 188,000. indeed, the study is claiming that "government spending on renewable energy is less than half as efficient at job creation as private-sector spending," the Wall Street Journal's Keith Johnson explains. Critics neglect to say that "Spain's support for renewable energy came out of existing tax revenues," so "it's hard to see how it could have edged out private-sector spending, especially when the Socialist government there has reduced corporate income-tax rates, most recently this past January." The reality is that investment in renewable energy sectors creates millions more jobs than does investment in traditional energy sectors, because investment can flow into employing people instead of extracting fuel to burn. The Apollo Alliance reports that "renewable energy creates more jobs than coal: the same investment creates 50% more jobs in wind and in solar than in coal. Energy efficiency is far more labor intensive than generation, creating 21.5 jobs for every $1 million invested, compared to 11.5 jobs for new natural gas generation." According to a Greenpeace International and European Renewable Energy Council study, building a green economy that would cut United States greenhouse emissions by 45% by 2030 would create a net 7.8 million jobs versus business as usual.
GREEN JOBS ARE GOOD JOBS: Bond argued that "passing climate-change legislation to pay for new green jobs" will mean that "good-paying manufacturing jobs are driven away by the burden of high energy taxes and replaced with fewer, lower-paying green jobs." The reality is that the decline of American manufacturing and the loss of good-paying jobs for many Americans have happened because there hasn't been an effort to clean up the economy. "We can choose to transition to a clean energy economy that secures our energy supply and combats climate change or we can continue down the same old path of uncertainty and insecurity that we’re currently in," said Rep. Hilda Solis (D-CA), now the Secretary of Labor, at the 2008 National Clean Energy Summit. "Current economic conditions, particularly for under-served, under-represented minority communities underscore the need to transition to clean energy technology." The government and unions should play a role in ensuring that economic rebirth comes with not just regulations for pollution but also standards for jobs. "We can build a green economy Dr. King would be proud of," Green For All founder Van Jones testified before Congress in January. "We have an opportunity to connect the people who most need work with the work that most needs to be done, and fight pollution and poverty at the same time, and be one country about it." Van Jones, now the White House green jobs adviser, recently told reporters, "The president doesn't want a bunch of solar sweatshops." In 2007, Solis and Rep. John Tierney (D-MA) wrote the Green Jobs Act to authorize "quality job training programs in the renewable energy and energy efficiency fields." Building a green economy takes a trillion-dollar shift in resources from capital-intensive energy to labor-intensive energy -- instead of McMansions heated by giant power plants financed by Bank of America, it is homes greened by insulators and solar panel installers, linked on a smart grid.
UNDER THE RADAR
JUSTICE -- HOUSE PASSES HATE CRIMES BILL PROTECTING GAY MEN AND WOMEN: Yesterday, the House passed the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, also known as the Matthew Shepard Act. The bill, which was opposed by most Republicans, would "permit greater federal involvement in investigating hate crimes and expand the federal definition of such crimes to include those motivated by gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability." Speaking out against the bill Tuesday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) called it the "very definition of tyranny," while Rep. Greshman Barret (R-SC) said "it would inhibit religious freedom in our society." Their distress, however, is misplaced. A federal hate crimes law has been in place since 1968, and the Matthew Shepard Act simply adds sexual orientation and gender identity to the enumerated protected groups. Moreover, this exact measure passed both chambers in 2007, but was stripped from a larger bill after President Bush promised to veto it. As the bill will moves on to the Senate, President Obama is urging lawmakers "to work with my administration to finalize this bill and to take swift action."
RADICAL RIGHT -- OBAMA APPEALS TO TEA PARTY PROTESTERS, SAYING 'LET'S NOT PLAY GAMES': President Obama spent part of the 100th day of his presidency yesterday in Arnold, MO where he hosted a town hall meeting with local residents. During the event, Obama recognized criticism he's been receiving from the far right. "I know you have been hearing all these arguments about, 'Oh, Obama's just spending crazy, look at these huge trillion dollar deficits, blah, blah, blah.'" Obama then noted that the real fiscal problem facing the United States is the skyrocketing costs of Medicare and Medicaid -- not the Recovery Act or bank bailouts, which he said are "one-time charges." "If we aren't careful, health care will consume so much of our budget that ultimately we won't be able to do anything else," he warned. Obama then mocked the right wing's tea party protests for their misplaced anger and, indirectly, Fox News for promoting them. "[T]hose of you who are watching certain news channels, on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation. ... [L]et's not play games," Obama said. Referring to the tea baggers' desire for the government to play less of a role in economic recovery, Obama said, "We tried that formula for eight years. It did not work, and I don't intend to go back to it."

The Joker
Things come out of the woodwork. All of a sudden it's a mutant H1N1 swine flu, with bird and human DNA accessories. We don't know where this is taking us. It could be a media blowover, like SARS, or it could be a big deal, shutting down travel and assemblies of humans. It would be a very big deal if it killed, proportionately, as much of the population as the 1918 flu event -- the worldwide toll then was roughly 30 -100-million out of a global population around 1.7 billion. Now the world population is over 6.5 billion. The only thing anyone can predict at the moment is that there will be a lot of very worried health officials and politicians out there in the days ahead.
This flu epidemic comes just as global economy itself lies comatose in the economic intensive care unit, with IV lines of dollars, euros, yen, and renminbis transfusing its hollowed-out carcass. It's an odd time for attention to be diverted from that awful spectacle. The cash transfusions have sent the Cable TV gang into raptures of "optimism" -- meaning they expect debt securitization to resume as before, along with Yuletide-level credit card shopping sprees in the malls, a mass splurging on new cars, and a renewed frenzy of house-building in the Florida buzzard flats. Those "green shoots" and sprouting "mustard seeds" they report seeing may themselves be a flu-like symptom. I don't know what the so-called Mexican swine flu will lead to, but the global economy as we've known it is a goner.
Even if the Mexican swine flu turns out to be something of a false alarm, it will require billions of dollars in unexpected new outlays for prevention operations here in the USA -- reinforcing the false idea that the nation has bottomless resources (the same idea that has been driving the bail-out fiesta). My guess is that the fear emanating from the story will be a potent generator of paranoia in the meantime, leading to widespread closures of things, canceling of events, restrictions on travel (official or otherwise), and a sell off in the financial markets. And that's if the flu turns out not to amount to anything.
If the flu is the real deal, it will surely drive a stake through the faintly-beating heart of that invalid global economy, and possibly even continental-scaled economies like the US , the Euro-zone, and China -- any place where things and people have to move long distances to keep life going. The US , obviously, suffers in this instance from its proximity to Mexico , and the fact that so much of our food comes from places that employ casual Mexican labor. A serious flu outbreak would be a short path to food shortages in the US , with our three-day supermarket inventories and just-in-time shipping methods. It would not be such a bad idea now to lay in supplies of beans, brown rice, cooking oil, onions, and toilet paper.
The big story at the end of last week was New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's pursuit of former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke in the matter of Bank of America's gobbling of Merrill Lynch last fall. It is alleged that the dynamic duo importuned BOA chief Ken Lewis to avoid disclosing some important particulars to the BOA shareholders, as required by law. The outstanding stage-whisper coming from all this was the word "indictable" in reference to messers Paulson and Bernanke. It goes to show how swiftly events can move beyond "unthinkable" in extraordinary times. Now, former Merrill Lynch chief John Thain -- of thousand-dollar trash-basket infamy -- has come back out of the woodwork to backbite BOA's Ken Lewis over who-said-what in regard to a treasure chest of bonuses divvied up during the blur of TARP payouts last fall.

This giant CEO cat fight was just getting interesting when the Mexican flu pulled the news-plug on it.
Of high interest to those confused and perplexed over President Obama's actions so far in the banking fiasco, I commend a great piece by fellow blogger-on-the-margins Charles Hugh Smith: Obama's Secret Plan. This analysis is low on the paranoia and high on the Machiavellian maneuvering insight. The basic idea is that Mr. Obama has gone along with all the TARPing and PPIPing because it was tactically the only way that he could give the Wall Street plutocrats enough rope to hang themselves -- and that this was the only reality-based strategy that could get public opinion in the mood for real change. It explains a lot, if it's true. Alternately, it would be very sad to learn that Mr. Obama really believes he can rev back up a securitized-debt-and-consumption fiesta by turning the Federal Reserve into an ATM.
In any case, the banking-and-investments sector has been on auto-pilot for a few weeks. Lesser banks are crashing around the country (Idaho, Florida, California last week), but the remaining Big Boyz are still lurching through the landscape like so many Frankenbanks, jazzed up on electric surges of digital cash. There are ever more hints of a peasant uprising against the castle of privilege, but no sign just yet of the flaming brands and shaking fists from the village below. This flu thing will put the schnitz on their distempers for a while.
For an excellent background briefing on flu matters, I direct you to a recent blog by Elaine Meinel Supkis. Have a healthy week.

The Joker
Things come out of the woodwork. All of a sudden it's a mutant H1N1 swine flu, with bird and human DNA accessories. We don't know where this is taking us. It could be a media blowover, like SARS, or it could be a big deal, shutting down travel and assemblies of humans. It would be a very big deal if it killed, proportionately, as much of the population as the 1918 flu event -- the worldwide toll then was roughly 30 -100-million out of a global population around 1.7 billion. Now the world population is over 6.5 billion. The only thing anyone can predict at the moment is that there will be a lot of very worried health officials and politicians out there in the days ahead.
This flu epidemic comes just as global economy itself lies comatose in the economic intensive care unit, with IV lines of dollars, euros, yen, and renminbis transfusing its hollowed-out carcass. It's an odd time for attention to be diverted from that awful spectacle. The cash transfusions have sent the Cable TV gang into raptures of "optimism" -- meaning they expect debt securitization to resume as before, along with Yuletide-level credit card shopping sprees in the malls, a mass splurging on new cars, and a renewed frenzy of house-building in the Florida buzzard flats. Those "green shoots" and sprouting "mustard seeds" they report seeing may themselves be a flu-like symptom. I don't know what the so-called Mexican swine flu will lead to, but the global economy as we've known it is a goner.
Even if the Mexican swine flu turns out to be something of a false alarm, it will require billions of dollars in unexpected new outlays for prevention operations here in the USA -- reinforcing the false idea that the nation has bottomless resources (the same idea that has been driving the bail-out fiesta). My guess is that the fear emanating from the story will be a potent generator of paranoia in the meantime, leading to widespread closures of things, canceling of events, restrictions on travel (official or otherwise), and a sell off in the financial markets. And that's if the flu turns out not to amount to anything.
If the flu is the real deal, it will surely drive a stake through the faintly-beating heart of that invalid global economy, and possibly even continental-scaled economies like the US , the Euro-zone, and China -- any place where things and people have to move long distances to keep life going. The US , obviously, suffers in this instance from its proximity to Mexico , and the fact that so much of our food comes from places that employ casual Mexican labor. A serious flu outbreak would be a short path to food shortages in the US , with our three-day supermarket inventories and just-in-time shipping methods. It would not be such a bad idea now to lay in supplies of beans, brown rice, cooking oil, onions, and toilet paper.
The big story at the end of last week was New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's pursuit of former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke in the matter of Bank of America's gobbling of Merrill Lynch last fall. It is alleged that the dynamic duo importuned BOA chief Ken Lewis to avoid disclosing some important particulars to the BOA shareholders, as required by law. The outstanding stage-whisper coming from all this was the word "indictable" in reference to messers Paulson and Bernanke. It goes to show how swiftly events can move beyond "unthinkable" in extraordinary times. Now, former Merrill Lynch chief John Thain -- of thousand-dollar trash-basket infamy -- has come back out of the woodwork to backbite BOA's Ken Lewis over who-said-what in regard to a treasure chest of bonuses divvied up during the blur of TARP payouts last fall. Thain complains of being unemployed since then -- though one wonders why he doesn't just shut the fuck up, buy half of Nantucket with his untold millions of booty, and learn to play the oboe or something. This giant CEO cat fight was just getting interesting when the Mexican flu pulled the news-plug on it.

Actually you are incorrect on that one. If you watch the committee postings on sites like politico you will be able to see the bills as they develop and actually can see what each individual contributes at the committee level. You also can see the infighting between various special interest lobbyists which want us to believe they are political office holders not beholding to special interests.
