A welcome development:

[broken link removed]

ELECTRICITY COMPANY Airtricity has been ordered not to use the term “green electricity” in its advertising, following a complaint by An Bord Gáis to the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland (ASAI).

Re: Airtricity Slapped Down by the ASAI

I was trying to explain the above points to someone the other day, but they didnt believe me!!

Isn't all of Airtricity's generated 'green' energy just pumped into the national grid anyway, so all electricity consumers get some percentage of 'green' energy??

Exactly, so to tell customers they are buying 'green energy' is false advertisement, all suppliers purchase elctricity from the same pool. Technically all consumers could be getting some of the 'green energy'.
