Why Pay More For Green Electricity?

Hands up who thinks electricity companies are ripping people off by making you pay more for green electricity?

It’s in their best interests to invest in the technology anyway. Otherwise, when current fuel runs out or becomes cost prohibitive they will all be out of jobs. It’s about time governments gave them a kick up the balls and made them all acknowledge this. If anything, green electricity should be cheaper to encourage more people to use it which would then increase their revenue streams to further invest in the technology.
