5. I could be wrong, but

I believe that using a 3rd party power supply is not meant to be a scam. It's explained quite well . I use inspire which is wind energy as my 3rd party. It was explained to me that I literally get mixed energy including ( probably the majority) fossil fuel . However the amount of energy I pay for is put through a grid ( in some places it's only local in others the person's, in this case my company has to use that much energy supplied by renewable of the type I paid for; to their grid) In other words I am paying for wind energy to replace fossil fuel somewhere in my country and if more people do it than there is less fossil fuel overall. that is the premise as i understand it
