Green electricity - is it worth it??

I have a question and I would like another person's opinion...
For a long time I have been paying an extortionate amount of money for electricity from Good Energy (all wind power). Due to credit crunch etc I decided to switch to a 'green' Scottish Power supply - this will save me about £150 a year. However, I then heard on the radio that the government has pledged that by 20xx (can't remember exact year) 15% of its power supplies will be from green sources. So, am I right in thinking that it won't make any difference which tariff I choose - I may as well save £300 and go for the cheapest option - because energy providers will have increase their green sources in order to comply with the government targets anyway.
