I don't think anyone's under the illusion that you can trace anyone's electricity to a particular source. At any one time, a house on a green energy tariff could be supplied by electricity generated by gas and one on a non-green tariff could be supplied by renewables.
But that doesn't mean that the fuel breakdowns are bull.
