I'm not sure how it is in the US or around the world, but in Germany switching to 100% renewable energy for your home takes about 10 minutes online, by changing contract or company. Sure - if everyone did it there would not be enough supply, but apparently the majority does not despite being able to.

Good!

I'll just mention though that I think there is some double dipping going on here:

"Every" Norwegian seems to be happily thinking that they are using green hydropower, while at the same time the green certificates are sold to Germany.

Not saying this to discourage you guys, what you do makes green power more viable. Edit: The problem is Norwegians are living happy lives thinking they aren't contributing from power at least and nobody is telling.

I only want to help lit a fire under the feet of Norwegians :-)

And personally I could accept a small extra fee to get certified nuclear power ;-)

Edit 2: feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
