Yes, it is more expensive, but I feel better about doing it that way. Without my (and all the other fellow customers) paying a little bit more, that green energy would not be being added to the grid. Yes, the electricity coming into my apartment is likely from other sources (coal, oil, nuclear), but someone else paying Ottawa Hydro is getting wind energy that wouldn't be there if it wasn't for me signing up with Bullfrog.

Not quite the same situation. Where you don't really have a choice but to purchase electricity from someone, Gore has the means and ability to go fully green, off the grid, where as you do not.
