- colinmhayes 5y agoBuying renewable energy isn't the same as purchasing carbon credits. Since energy is fungible there's no way to say your demand for renewable energy actually mattered if others are agnostic in their demand for renewable versus non renewable energy. When we use more energy it's not renewables that are picking up the slack, the fossil fuel plants burn more.
