It's riding a media campaign. Just depends when that media wave ends. Hopefully soon. I'm all for saving energy, being efficient etc, but this seems a really bad way to go about that. I'd say also the barrier to entry for competition is 0. As long as they can design a "We are green" badge. There are of course other things where the barrier for entry is 0 - twitter for example - but with that it's all about the network - who is on it. I don't see how co2stats can protect themselves like this. What's to stop others creating badges and selling them to websites? Also this claim from the website is just ridiculous: "Increase the time your visitors and customers spend on your website. Proudly display that your site is providing their computers with green energy while they are on your site. They'll stay around longer, and that leads to greater sales and attention." Some evidence/studies to show that would be good...
