Not a degree holder for this topic but my significant other works in renewable energy. A lot of these companies actually just buy and sell "renewable" credits which is legal in the US so they can make the claim. They themselves do not have to be using renewable energy. IE if I am LemmyCorp and I have genuine renewable energy, I can get it certified and sell my credits to BananaPhoneCorp.
