Carbon Offsets and Renewable Energy Credits By Sandy Graham; Smart Energy Living Magazine

Until the past couple of years, carbon offsets and a related tool called Renewable Energy Credits or Certificates were the business of big business. Today, however, the average person can strive to go “carbon neutral” by buying RECs or offsets from what seems to be an ever growing number of retail companies. RECs are aimed strictly at renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and your purchases help boost this young industry.

“Any long-term energy outlook that I’m aware of has continued demand increases for energy demand globally,” said Richard Newell, head of the statistics unit of the Energy Department, which predicts demand will rise 50 percent by 2035.
