	Additionally, I would bet dollars to pennies that electric companies sell “100% renewable” energy to their customers who want it, at a premium, and tout “X% renewable energy” to the rest of their customer base, where X reflects a percentage of generation and changes not one iota when the customer base who wants the renewable energy increases by a factor of ten.
