The offset voluntary market is proven to be failed concept. It deliveries on none of the promise it purports and serves as a cheap carbon subsidy. It allows the purchaser to continue to use carbon and it's related infrastructure, while allowing another entity to enjoy cash flow in the from of tax subsidization by the Federal Government as most of the entities that handle these credits are non-profit. A good old fashion legal money laundering machine design to help elections & transfer wealth. With no real world reliable verifiable way to measure their programs successes or progress. This is nothing more than a legal con.
