That is like the gas stations raising their gas prices. If you don't like it, drive less.
Likewise, if companies don't like the higher costs of doing business, end the business.

INternational carbon offsetting started... uhhh.. uhhh. about a decade ago? haha
How do YOU know the hydro projects would be built anyway? I guess YOU know better than the EB, DOE? A project "being built" as you claim, is no longer CDM eligible (never was).

Gore pays "carbon credits" into his own invested company, Generation Investment Management. Other shareholders in this firm include AFLAC, Autodesk, GE, Greenhill, Metabolix, Staples, Sysco, UBS, and Whole Foods.
