If cheatneutral priced there cheating offset at current market prices this would greatly increase the cost of cheating. At the current price of £2.50, which wouldn’t get you a good cup of tea let alone a root, cheatneutral provides no disincentive to cheat. What would the impact be if a cheat offset were £100?<BR/><BR/>Secondly, cheatneutral need to get up to speed with their offset projects. The current projects don’t measure up. Their projects pay people who are currently not cheating to continue to not cheat. Instead they should be paying prostitutes, at market rates, to not have sex with people in relationships. This would reduce the net amount of pain and unhappy emotion emitted to the atmosphere.<BR/><BR/>So come on guys get serious about using market instruments to reduce cheating.Kelvin Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233193156071011630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337399779578978851.post-40833823736301660212007-09-17T09:21:00.000-05:002007-09-17T09:21:00.000-05:00I've been concerned about this as well ("I'm payin...I've been concerned about this as well ("I'm paying for it so I can have it"). I'm curious however(and hold some faith) about the fact that assigning a real dollar cost to carbon contribution might be one of the few, if only ways, to place carbon generation on the balance sheet and to identify it as an addressable, financial issue.PodSquadHQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874110087051421351noreply@blogger.com
