I've also seen green pricing. Or buying green RITs (I think thats what they are called). You basically are paying the extra money to buy your power from a green provider. It sounds good, but I am worried that the people who were paying more for the green power (who live close to it), are now saving money because they are using coal power produced close to me. I hope this isn't the case though, and the money I pay goes towards the development of new green power sources.
As for carbon offsets, I think they could work if there is a way to pull carbon back out of the air. Planting trees can help, but putting it into R&D for other technological solutions would be a good idea too.
