Right now, in my state, you can choose to have your electricity generated from green power sources, or from “conventional” sources. Here’s the kicker, the green power costs about 6x the conventional rate, and most of that is paid as a subsidy to keep the conventional power rate low. It ought to be a crime, and what do you know, it was! And they put the guy in jail, but they also kept the policy in place.
