Carbon neutral is a big claim for a stadium event. I want to see the accounting method. Are they actually reducing emissions or just buying offsets to hit a net zero number?
Exactly. The power draw for a lineup like this is massive. I wonder if they are using temporary battery storage or just relying on the grid and claiming credits later.
Interesting concept but the article is light on the how. No mention of waste management or transport emissions, which are usually the biggest hurdles for festivals.
