Choosing a company that sells clean energy … can result in even lower electric bills and less polluted air — a win-win for you and the planet. Electricity prices are soaring in many areas, but if you live in a state with a deregulated energy market, you could find some relief by switching to a cheaper utility provider. Choosing your energy supplier is one of the best ways to save money while contributing to a healthier environment.

As energy prices go up, here's how to ditch your expensive provider

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Pennsylvania is not particularly known for its wind energy resources, but the state hosts some of the first utility-scale wind farms ever built in the US. That makes it ripe for picking the low-hanging fruit of wind farm repowering, in which out-of-date turbines are replaced with powerful new technology.

Five U.S. military bases are leading the charge in America's clean energy revolution, and it's a win-win for national security and your wallet. The U.S. Department of Defense just announced a groundbreaking partnership with Duke Energy to power five military installations in North Carolina and South Carolina with 100% clean electricity, according to Electrek. This $248 million deal will bring two new 135-megawatt solar farms online by September 2026, providing an estimated 4.8 million megawatt hours of clean power over 15 years.
