It's getting easier all the time to run your home on green energy: More than half of all electricity consumers in the U.S. have the option of purchasing some kind of green power product from their electricity provider. Find out how you can buy green power by visiting the Department of Energy (DOE) Website, which offers a state-by-state list of green energy providers, as well as information on making your own green energy, such as installing solar power, and tips on conservation.

Also visit your own utility's Website to check out its green energy options. Its site should also indicate how you might be eligible to install a solar or wind generator and operate in parallel with their electric grid. If your utility doesn't offer these options, use the Contact Us link on its site to let it know you want to power green.
