Carbon Footprint
Just did the math (working on an analysis of Waxman Markey).
With credits from the Northeast cap and trade program I could offset my entire annual carbon footprint for about $20.
For over a year in 2007-2008 you could have bought 1 ton of European CO2 for under $1.
It just seems pathetically meaningless..
But think about this: in the EIA high-case scenario for the Waxman Markey bill, my annual CO2 footprint (9 tons) would cost $1,674 in 2030.
