Something on the lines of if your company facility is using over X amount of energy the majority of that has to be from a green source such as solar power. What would happen and is this feasible or am I totally thinking about this wrong

Edit: Good responses from everyone, my point in asking this was completely hypothetical, ignoring how hard it would be to implement a restriction. My own thoughts are that requiring the use of renewable energy for high electricity products could help spur the demand for it as now it’s a requirement. Of course companies would fight back, they want money

    It all depends on the details, but power is a local produced good and is not something that can be escaped with laws that want to stop carbon emissions.

      You say that like the laws we have right now against carbon emissions are working. I get what you’re saying but the laws probably need a re-write.

        The current laws most certainly do not work. The fact that they don’t work is a willing failure on the part of the lawmakers.
