Are there any green-powered Internet providers?

"Webster" asks via The Green Guide website:

I would love to find a web host that uses renewable power. Are there any options out there?

The Green Guide replies:

All of us who want to click with a clearer conscience are hoping that developments in solar power, wind power, and fuel cells will provide us with green options to illuminate our computer screens and power our Internet-based environmental education and networking. However, while there exist Internet Service Providers (ISP's) that support environmental and progressive causes and organizations, The Green Guide could not find an ISP or web host that ran on green power. The closest thing we could find was a dial-up Internet service available to certain Indiana residents (those able to reach Crawfordsville, Frankfort, Indianapolis, Lafayette or Lebanon through a local call). This greener Internet access is provided by Boone REMC, a local electric utility cooperative that supports green power through its EnviroWatts program. Boone REMC customers can sign up for green power, and profits from this program are donated to local environmental groups. To sign up for this Internet service, call 866.855.5575 and ask for the "Boone REMC" Internet service program, or visit www.bremc.com/internetaccess.html for more info.

Two others, while not green-powered, at least use their power for green:

• Institute for Global Communications (www.igc.org), a pioneer of green and progressive computing and the home of EcoNet, will soon be soliciting new web hosting clients. This non-profit's longstanding mission has been to serve the progressive community with affordable, quality electronic communications support. Contact them at support@igc.apc.org if your organization is seeking an eco-friendly web host for your Internet site.
  
  
• EcoISP, www.ecoisp.com, donates 50% of profits from your fees to the environmental group of your choice. They also manage a homepage with environmental news and information, and have produced an environmental education site for children, www.EcoPals.com. The service, 56K of bandwidth via telephone dialup (no ISDN or broadband), is widely available throughout the United States and in Canada.

All of us who want to click with a clearer conscience are hoping that developments in solar power, wind power, and fuel cells will provide us with green options to illuminate our computer screens and power our Internet-based environmental education and networking. Please let us know if you learn of any more green Internet options. We'll be delighted to alert others to what you find.
