Actually the green-ness is produced along with the renewable energy and then sold to non renewable energy producers who then charge the consumers.

- CRConrad 5y agoYes, but since the actual renewable energy is also sold, and that energy certainly is renewable, isn't its greenness also -- first, and arguably "mainly" -- being sold to the buyers of that actual energy? I mean, they're certainly paying for something, and since the energy they're paying for is green, they must be paying for both energy and greenness... Right? So then selling the greenness again, in the form of these weird "certificates", must mean they're selling the greenness twice. When I was young, shit like that used to be called fraud.
