About to get dumped

Rather surprised to read in the news that my electricity provider, Green Mountain Energy, is about to leave the Philadelphia area. This is a drag, since the presence of that company (which guaranteed that your portion of the state's electricity generation would come from wind, water, and biomass) contributed to the establishment of more environmentally friendly energy production here. They cite concerns about the increased cost of natural gas, which I guess makes their largest product untenable in PA's heavily regulated market. Anyway, this announcement (or, at least, the news that will be arriving in their customers' mailboxes next week) makes sense of the news I heard elsewhere that PECO is offering wind energy to interested customers.
