You might want to remember (as I pointed out a few months ago), the fact that Octopus "buy" green energy doesnt mean the electricity you use is cheaper, or even green.

Who you pay (Octopus, Bulb etc) has zero bearing at all over where the actual electricity you use comes from, thats entirely controlled by the National Grid.
Switching supplier doesnt magically change where your electic actually comes from. Its perfectly possible (tho unlikely) that 100% of what you use was generated by gas.
It could even have been generated in another country.
