A teaspoon is the wrong terminology in the context of Oregon given they produce 0.7% of the US's CO2 emissions. Because they are already producing so little CO2 a teaspoon elsewhere is a large improvement there.

given this is Oregon we are talking about, their idea of enacting meaningful change is different from other states idea of meaningful changes just due to the fact that Oregon has so much green energy already. So these little changes get them further to 100% reduction much easier and thus are meaningful in this context. Reading the article Amazon wanted to increase natural gas capacity because the biofuels are not yet ready in Oregon. It makes less sense to do this in a state like Oregon. Why are they even there in the first place? I assume it due to the cheap electricity (thanks in part to the natural renewable energy sources they already have)
- exabrial 4y agoYou’re seriously saying .0084 * (the total carbon emissions) is doing anything useful?
