Clean energy alternatives are a hot topic, especially in an area of the country where residents and businesses are as environmentally conscious as they are in the High Country.

On this week's installment of the Mind Your Business podcast, we will hear about a new Green Power Program, offered by New River Light and Power (NRLP), the supplier for energy for residents and businesses inside the Town of Boone.

We'll hear from Ed Miller, General Manager of NRLP, about how customers can purchase blocks of power from clean and renewable energy sources that can help offset their monthly consumption. We'll hear about the environmental impacts of such a project from Watauga Riverkeeper Andy Hill. George Santucci, Sustainability Coordinator for the Town of Boone will share how the largest users of power in the area feel this project will advance their own clean energy objectives.

Mind Your Business is produced weekly thanks to a partnership between High Country Radio and Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.
