Green power marketing claims: A free ride on conventional power?
Journal Article
·
· Electricity Journal
It appears that a lot, if not most, of the green power being marketed to consumers today in customer choice states is not green at all, at least as that term may be understood by the typical consumer. Such power is not, contrary to claims, coal and nuke free and does not displace power generated from coal or nuclear power plants. It does not create a market for renewable resources. And it does not make a contribution to improving environmental quality. Indeed, it appears that green power in its current form is receiving a free ride on the conventional power industry, a face about which green power consumers are not being made aware.
