The @Vivaldi servers are in Iceland. Icelandic electricity is green as it uses hydro power and a bit of geothermal. Wind is being added to the mix as well.

@jon @Vivaldi You must then make sure that your energy suppliers don't sell you electricity with certificates of provenance from coal, oil or nuclear, right?
Because the Icelandic producers/distributors have been selling such green absolution-certificates to European markets, instead we get those 'dirty' stamps on our energy.

Personally I pay ~1.65 ISK extra per kWh just to keep my electricity green, denying the joy of gambling to those suits... 🥴

@sv1 @jon @Vivaldi But nuclear is the ONLY non carbon-based/emitting fossil energy source. That makes it the only fossil energy that does not worsen the greenhouse effect. Though it’s not perfect nor without its own risks, you can’t consider it the same way as coal, oil or gas.
