This group is going through all this effort and getting this level of attention for offsetting less than 200 tons of CO2? (20,000 x 19.6 / 2,000 = 196 tons) Can we please focus on real solutions and not useless gimmicks? How much carbon was used planning, printing and paying for all this nonsense? This is borderline ridiculous.

Do research on how much crude oil, heating oil, natural gas, LNG, diesel, and gasoline is exported from this country and you would be shocked. Lots of the oil in the Alaskan Pipeline is shipped to Japan. The oil companies say they want to build more refineries and do more drilling, but I say they don't need to do either until we stop all exports. We can never be energy independent as long as we continue exporting to other countries. Offshore drilling and onshore drilling in Alaska is extremely attractive to oil companies because one offshore well can equal fifteen onshore wells in production and drilling in Alaska produces large volumes of oil. For every barrel of oil we send overseas that's another barrel of oil we have to import.
