A person walking by on the street asked me [ Fri Mar 27 2009 10:49 AM ]
"Would you like to fill out a postcard to get more renewal energy in New Mexico?"
My first thought was that it sounded great. If I send this postcard, they're going to send me 10 KiloWatt Hours. No wait, it's renewable energy, so they'll send me 10 KiloWatt Hours per month!
And that's when I realized: it is good; maybe too good to be true. What do you bet, after 3 months my energy packet would come with an invoice that says, "Send this back with 'Cancel' written on it, or we'll start billing you." She shouldn't have said "renewable;" that's how I knew it was a scam.
