Energy on it's own is not dirty or clean. You cannot test the wires in the wall to say yep, this energy is clean.
You can of course tax the energy producers, but that does not prevent fraud on it's own - see oil tankers converting gas pollutants to water and causing even more harm.

"Clean/dirty energy" is a shorthand for clean/dirty energy sources. > You can of course tax the energy producers, but that does not prevent fraud on it's own Sure. Taxing emissions is a necessary but not sufficient component of a sane energy policy.
- reportgunner 7y ago> Yes. "Clean/dirty energy" is a shorthand for clean/dirty energy sources. So how do you make sure you are not getting dirty energy ?
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoWhat is the purpose of this questions? You purchase electricity with clean production guarantees. That doesn't necessarily mean the electricity you use comes from that, or any, clean source, but that clean sources are used to contribute to grid supply equally. If that's not actually happening then we can call that fraud, but that's a separate issue. Are you claiming you were not aware of this?
