About
Energy is a privately held Native American energy company. In August 2005, the Intertribal Council On Utility Policy (COUP) acquired a majority ownership interest in NativeEnergy on behalf of its member tribes, marking another significant step in the Great Plains tribes’ historic effort to power America with Native wind.
NativeEnergy helps you help build Native American, farmer-owned, community based renewable energy projects that create social, economic, and environmental benefits. Native Americans and farmers traditionally care for and care about the environment because they are also very dependent on the gifts of the Earth for their survival. They are seeking a way to build their economies and their communities. This is one of the reasons we developed our novel approach to renewable energy; we want our business – our work – and so also our customers’ purchases, to make a real difference.
Offsetting is the only practical way that you can reduce your global warming pollution to zero.
Reducing the amount of energy we use is critically important in the effort to stop global warming, and we can help you.
But it isn’t nearly enough.
Even if you drive a hybrid car, use compact fluorescent lighting and take every energy saving step you can, you are still going to use some energy and create CO2 pollution. There’s only one way to do something about the CO2 pollution you can’t avoid creating – help reduce CO2 pollution another way.
Offset – n. 1. something that counterbalances; a compensating equivalent.
6 tons of CO2 created from driving If you’re like the average person, your car produces 6 tons of CO2 each year.
6 tons of CO2 reduced with renewable energy For $72, NativeEnergy will help fund projects that reduce emissions by 6 tons for you.
With NativeEnergy, you can help finance and build new clean and renewable energy projects that help create sustainable economic benefits for Native Americans, Alaska Native villages and other local communities, and that help America’s family farmers compete with agribusiness. These projects will displace electricity from fossil fuels and reduce other greenhouse gas emissions on your behalf making up for the CO2 emissions you can’t avoid.
In addition, please consider changes you can make so you don’t use as much energy, so you don’t have to offset as much next time!
