Signed up with a 100% renewable electricity utility

"Bullfrog Power" - Heard about it from one of the EV association members in Ottawa.

It's a relatively new company (06 was their first full year in operation).

The power is about $30 / month more expensive than the current bill, but it's 100% clean, renewable energy - 20% wind & 80% "low impact" hydro.

Ontario already has a somewhat clean energy supply (63% of the mix produces no GHG), but this makes it even better:

That means charging the ForkenSwift will be 100% emissions-free.

(At least when I'm taking the juice from my plug. The weeks when Ivan has custody, I guess he'll be using the regular provincial grid mix for his driving).
