I can't help but note that if every company in the US set a goal of a 20% reduction from 2007 by 2015, as Sun has, that we will still emit 90% of the emissions over those 8 years that we would have if we had merely stayed flat. The only realistic way to move down the emissions curve fast enough to stave off the worst of global warming is to supplement internal reduction efforts with offsets.
