I often smile at the Meridian TV advertisements knowing that they sell greenness because they don't "own" any thermal plant. They are actually quite enjoyable ads though.

However, the fact that Meridian "contract" heavily to Genesis Energy for Huntly coal fired generation as thermal backup doesn't make them anymore green to me!
