In our previous home (not in The Villages), our power company did offer the same service: you could pay extra per kWh and essentially contribute to alternative energy sources through RECs. I suspect the participation rate was very low.
biker: not to be a contrarian see my post #6. the voters voted this down. I wish people would get more of a "feel good"attitude and financial support to convert my vehicles so they can run on natural gas. some posters are debating the term to be used . Put any label you want on it but Aradia Power move is a scam as sure as Telsa Motors subsidies are and government continues to pick winners and losers
