In the Netherlands the product 'renewable energy' has today gone into the free
market phase and as far as I got it, it is a succes. Different companies are
already competing with each other to get costumers for this product. By chosing
to pay a little more for your electricity you help finance new projects for
renewable energy. Looks like 'green energy' can be sold to the public. Yes, and
I realise it would never work like that in the US. :o)
