Does anyone use Ecotricity?

Question

I am thinking of changing but would like to know what others think about them first.

Answer 1

It doesn't make much of a difference to the overall percentage of enegry generated from renewable sources.  If all the renewable energy goes to ecotricity customers, and those on green tarifs, that means more of the energy going to everyone else.

It's all a bit of a sticking plaster like carbon ofsetting.  Only way to make your electricity bill more responsible is not to use so much of it!

The only positive side to these tarifs is that they invest in increasing the amount of energy available from renewable means.  It wouldn't be so d**n expensive if there wasn't a legal fight against anti-wind nutters every time someone wanted to put up a turbine.

Answer 2

what's ecotricity?

Answer 3

dont get ye self brain washed by global warming... just an excuse for mass taxation and a nice little earner for a select few.

Answer 4

If it costs more than regular electricity then you have to be rich, stupid, gullible or a fanatic, singly or in combination, to use it.  If you are not rich, then please use it, go broke, become homeless and deceased. Then you will have no impact on what sane people do.

Answer 5

No I don't live in the UK, but based on their fuel mix breakdown, it looks like a pretty environmentally friendly energy provider.
