>businesses to choose certified green energy
>while they stay with their electric utility, keeping
>the exact same relationship." 
>
>Sterling Planet offers a green energy upgrade
>through direct sales and utility partnerships.
>Here's how the unique five-minute buying
>process works at <http://www.SterlingPlanet.com>
>Customers decide how much of a green upgrade
>they want. Sterling Planet satisfies customer
>orders via "green tickets" that verify the sources
>of green energy production. Green ticket sales
>boost demand for green energy, make existing
>green energy plants more financially viable and
>create financial incentives for new production. 
>
>Buyers agree to pay Sterling Planet a flat
>monthly premium, plus pay their regular electric
>bill to their utility. The extra monthly cost,
>typically about $10 - $15, is easily offset by
>conservation.
