No, the 1MW solar power was used. It was used by someone who believed that it created emissions. But the emissions were instead produced in Seattle rather than Kansas. The accounting relies on the person buying power in Kansas not to care that it's fossil fuel power that they're purchasing. They know that there's emissions from their power use, but they don't know where those emissions are.

- Arnt 2y agoSorry about the terseness. I think it's a really clever hack. An admirable way to drive forward installation of regenerative power plants, faster than the infrastructure/contracts would otherwise allow.
