Description
The "Climate Commitments" page contains multiple references to "electrons flowing into your device [coming from a (non-)renewable source]" - this is fundamentally incorrect. In an AC electricity supply electrons don't flow, they oscillate (by micrometers). A better term might be "the energy received by the device originates from..." or similar.

| **Powered by** means you are directly powered by a renewable power source, say a hydro dam. In that scenario, the electrons flowing into your device can only come from that source, so you can confidently say that you are 100% powered by renewables. |
