That may be because you don't understand what he meant by that
remark. Those donations go to support the construction and
operation of solar, wind, and hydro plants. Basically, AIUI, the
money goes to an "insurance" fund that guarantees that the power
generated by "clean" plants will be purchased, thereby removing the
risk from those who build them. So if you're not reducing your own
carbon footprint on an individual basis, you're still supporting
the cause in a very real way.

Carbon credits are just feel good stuff. If someone is wasting
energy carbon credits may make them feel good but they are still
wasting energy.

Its the same sad logic Ford uses when they pitch dolled up 5 ton
trucks for use as personal vehicles and claim they use less gasoline
because they are E85 capable. Overall they still use more fuel than
is necessary .

I'd say it's more like the "pollution credits" scam they setup as a
solution to pollution problems Pollutors would just give money to
companies that pollute less, and everything is OK. Right.
