    I totally believe this. We see it here in the Netherlands (and other EU countries) for all big tech companies, they’ll build some big energy hogging thing, and then buy up all the renewable energy certificates from the market. The general public then ofcourse needs fossil fuels for their energy demand, but that’s beside the point.

    “Ive lost 20 pounds since last month through exercising!”
    “Haven’t you gained 40 pounds through eating in that same time?”

    Snark aside, still a good thing.

      Almost guaranteed. Net zero, and the means to achieving it, was basically a Greenwashing exercise manufactured by the fossil fuel industry, so the entire mechanism is full of ridiculous loopholes en par with Hollywood accounting.
