OwnersGuest is 100% Wind Powered
|
 OwnersGuest is run by SkyRun Condos, LLC which is 100% powered by renewable energy sources. By doing so, each year SkyRun avoids putting 20 tons of carbon dioxide into the air that running our business would create if we used traditional energy sources. Find out more about how we do this, and how you can too by reading more at www.renewablechoice.com.In 1997, U.S. power plants emitted 70% of the sulfur dioxide, 34% of carbon dioxide, 33% of nitrogen oxides, 28% of particulate matter and 23% of toxic heavy metals released into our nation's environment, mostly the air. Despite so-called clean coal and other filtering technologies, these numbers are getting worse not better. When you use wind power instead of electricity produced by burning fossil fuel, no pollution is released into the air. There is enough wind power available just in North Dakota, Kansas and Texas alone to power the whole US. The only problem? It costs more... Stimulate Economic GrowthAccording to the New York State Energy Office, wind energy systems create 25-70% more jobs than conventional power plants producing the same amount of electricity. By purchasing renewable energy certificates, you are supporting the construction of new wind farms, which will help revitalize rural communities. The best part is, increased development of renewables means communities will have more control over their energy supply. We will decrease our dependence on large fossil-fuel corporations with long histories of environmental degradation. The movement for renewable energy needs pioneers like you to demand clean, safe energy. Although renewable energy is becoming increasingly affordable, expansion and growth of wind farms and other renewable energy facilities requires investment. The money paid each month by customers helps cover the costs associated with constructing and operating renewable energy facilities. A comparison of wind and oil prices over the past twenty years exemplifies that renewable energies are the way of the future both economically and environmentally.Support Domestic EnergySupporting the growth of renewable energy increases America’s energy independence. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory states that currently over half of the oil used in the United States is supplied from sources overseas. At current projections, by 2010 Americans will be importing 75% of our oil supply. Renewable resources are the first step to breaking this dependence and moving towards a hydrogen economy. As the diversity of our energy supply increases, so does our independence and security as a nation. "Commitments to purchase wind power help ensure that we are diversifying our energy portfolio. Energy diversity is important for America's energy security." - Former U.S. Energy Secretary Spencer AbrahamImprove Health and SafetySupporting the growth of renewable energy resources in the United States will increase the quality of America’s health. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, fossil fuels currently account for 85 percent of US energy needs. Burning of these materials produces nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrocarbons, smoke and other particulate matter. Air pollutants such as these are known irritators of the human respiratory system. Each year Americans develop cases of asthma, pneumonia and bronchitis that can be attributed to poor air quality. The health costs of human exposure to outdoor air pollutants range from $40 to $50 billion. Renewable energy resources are a clean, dependable alternative to fossil fuels and related health risks.
