I didn't even address the component wear because I didn't know either way. ๐
But as long as you pay for green energy none of that money will go towards supporting non-green infrastructure. So it should incentivise the energy companies to invest more into green ones.
Of course it doesn't change where your energy is really coming from. Most likely from the gas plant around the corner. But maybe from your rich neighbour's solar panels.
I believe people getting non-green energy will just get less green energy, at least that's how I would imagine it if there was already enough green energy for the ones who demand it. Instead of making more green energy, they'll just send less green energy to the people that aren't paying for green energy. If your country doesn't produce a lot of it, then yea it'll certainly incentivise the production of it, but I feel like keeping green energy only for premium payers, without developping infrastructure is more worth it to them.
