...anymore*
These headlines misinform people who e.g. generally mean well but are also doubtful that corporations aren't pulling their leg with things like green energy contracts. However, the article says it did make sense back when it funded build-out:
> While a win for the status of renewable energy technologies, a side effect of cheap renewables means that new corporate or institutional agreements to purchase power from solar and wind projects have an increasingly limited impact in driving long-term, system-wide emissions reductions.
"increasingly limited impact" has quite a different vibe than the headline's "they do little" as a general statement
