"No one can really tell you if you are truly carbon neutral, and the lack of that standard bothered us," said Jeff Ventura, a spokesman for the House's chief administrative officer.
I don't know if that is entirely true - one can get pretty close with a lot of effort - but I'm happy about this. Anyone who has followed this blog for any length of time knows that I'm a skeptic. A "denier" (as if it's the Holocaust), if you will.
If one doesn't know how much is produced:
But since such carbon markets are unregulated in the United States, it is difficult to prove their environmental benefits. And it is also difficult to know whether the House accurately calculated the amount of carbon it produces. (emphasis mine)
Then how can this be true:
Still, the initiative reduced the House's carbon emissions by 74 percent by the end of 2008.
Maybe the House can't do math? After all, "Math is hard".
Maybe they'll rethink "cap and trade"? Nah.
