Greenwashing is a popular game in the commercial world to try and score points with consumers. But it’s usually meaningless at best, and likely misleading too. Any supposed “100% renewable” tariff would be a guarantee of spells with zero electricity, but on a grid system all electrons are equal. ELN joins in by promoting so-called ‘clean power’, but what about the mining and industrial processes used to manufacture and install so-called renewables, with life-cycles decades shorter than power stations? As usual the climate obsession results in people being taken for a ride.
