GOING GREEN: The City of Durango, which started buying renewable source electricity in 198 when La Plata Electric Association offered wind-generated power, now is going all green.
City officials announced Thursday that 100 percent of the power it buys will be generated from renewable sources. Green power currently constitutes about 10% of city power purchases.
The extra the city pays for green energy will add about $120,000 a year to its electrical bill, but the extra cost will be offset by an LPEA energy audit aimed at showing the city how to be more efficient and cut energy use.
Kudos to the city leadership for taking the initiative in energy conservation.
