To protect your personal identity, Canadian Valley Electric Cooperative is going the extra mile to prevent identify theft. All utilities must comply with the Federal Trade Commission “Red Flags” rule. A red flag is a pattern, practice or activity that indicates the possible existence of identity theft. For our members this means we will take more time to authen- ticate your identification. Perhaps we will ask you to verify some additional information when you call or ask you for photo ID when you come in to start or change an account.
These extra steps may take a few more minutes. Protecting your identity is worth it.

to worry. Regardless this “cloud” is a lot of energy. The sun shares a large amount of energy with us every day. I believe we were also taught when I was in high school that all energy comes from the sun. I don’t know if we are still sure about that or not.
I have written before about my friend west of Prague. He is a member of Canadian Valley Electric Cooperative and his home is connected to Canadian Valley electric lines. However he buys very little electricity from Canadian Valley to run his home, except a little more in the summer for cooling. He is still working and planning to reduce that amount even further. He has several wind generators and a couple of solar arrays which he has installed himself. His system includes storage batteries, but when the sun shines bright and the wind blows, he at times gives electricity back to Canadian Valley. While he might try to mislead you just a bit by hiding how smart he really is, I assure you that he is blessed with a healthy share of “intelligence genes.”
The moral of this story is not that we should shut down all of the coal fired or natural gas fired generators and tell everyone to look to the sun and the wind. At times our greatest need for electricity is while the sun is on the other side of the planet or the clouds are miles deep and the wind may or may not be blowing. Our system of electric power production was built over a hundred years ago. We can’t make a 90 degree turn. To maintain an economy that will support the number of people on the planet and maintain anywhere near the standard of living we have come to expect it will take all the available energy sources. There are those who would just shut the fossil fuel industry down. Others are more subtle. They would just drive the price of fossil fuels up to the point that fewer and fewer would be able to afford the price. High prices are just a form of rationing with different winners. My friend is going to be alright unless they put a tax on the sun. He has already told me Canadian Valley cannot have a franchise on the sun.
