Have you ever been curious as to what companies or organizations are walking their talk when it comes to using renewable energy?  Have a look at this link from the EPA that shows the top 50 users of green power in our nation.  The article lists their annual Green Power usage (kWh), Gree Power percentage of total used, providers and Green Power resources.

Recently Kohl's Department Stores overtook PepsiCo for the #2 spot on the list with Intel Corporation in the lead.  Rankings are based on annual Green Power usage

A snippet from the article:

These green power purchases help reduce the environmental impacts of electricity use and support the development of new renewable generation capacity nationwide. Purchase amounts reflect U.S. operations only and are sourced from U.S.-based green power resources. Organizations can meet EPA purchase requirements using any combination of three different product options (1) Renewable Energy Certificates, (2) On-site generation, and (3) Utility green power products.

Another article on Monday, January 25th from BizJournals.com states that Intel Corp. on Monday said it will install 2.5 megawatts of solar electric systems at its campuses in four states.
