<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Arcadia is worse than
that, it is a sham.<br>
<br>
</font>Arcadia makes its money off of trading *existing* renewable
energy credits from already existing wind farms.<br>
<br>
No new renewable energy is produced at all.<br>
</p>
Arcadia makes money by simply inserting itself in between wind
producers and consumers and gouging them for profit.<br>
<br>
Arcadia is so bad that Sierra Club California has successfully asked
the national Club not to promote the program in this state. The only
reason the national Club is continuing at all elsewhere is that it
already has a contract with Arcadia.<br>
<br>
No one should sign up with Arcadia. It is a total scam. And as you
say Don, it pulls money away from Community Choice programs and
diverts it into a bottomless corporate black hole.<br>

<p>I just got this email and I worry about Arcadia Power's effect
on SF Community Choice Aggregation, as well as other CCAs who
might be getting this or similar messages? CCA lets the city buy
power as an aggregate. It looks like Arcadia Power could take
customers out of that aggregate, putting them in a separate
system and drive prices up for those who remain? Or, does
Arcadia Power somehow augment renewables in the system? Focus is
on wind.<br>

<p>What do people think or know? Should we issue a warning? Is
this even legal?<br>

<div> <big>Don, We know you’re
busy, and getting busier,
and don’t really have time
to think about your utility
bill.<br>
<br>
For 100 years we’ve been
conditioned to get the power
bill, make sure it isn’t too
high, pay it manually, and
repeat every month. There
aren’t any options
available, the bill is hard
to understand, and we don’t
really know what we’re
paying for. Worst of all,
when those bills are high
(or really low!), we don’t
really know why.<br>
<br>
We get it. Someone needed to
flip the industry on its
head and make clean energy
just as easy as buying
organic milk or fair-trade
coffee.<br>
<br>
That’s why my cofounder and
I started Arcadia Power.<br>
<br>
With Arcadia, <a

moz-do-not-send="true"><strong>you
finally have a choice
when it comes to your
home’s energy</strong></a>,
whether you live in a home
or apartment. Our service
aims to be your home energy
advisor, working in the
background to support clean
energy, new solar, get
efficient products into your
home – and most importantly,
transition us from fossil
fuels to clean, renewable
energy.<br>
<br>
Once you join, every time
you flip on the light switch
you will support renewable
energy projects. We do that
by automatically matching
your home energy use to
clean energy from wind farms
across the country – helping
those wind farms stay afloat
for the long-term.<br>
<br>
Each month you have the
option of paying your bill
by credit card or bank
debit, automatically, so
you’ll never miss a bill.
And we actually benchmark
your data, so you can see
how you rank when it comes
to the community and whether
you’re higher or lower than
the average.<br>
<br>
With Arcadia, you only need
to think about your energy
once (when you sign up!),
and we’ll take care of the
rest because you shouldn’t
need a PhD in energy to
fight climate change. You
just need to join the
thousands across the country
– in all 50 states - who are
supporting renewable energy
with us.<br>
