There is a lot of talk about the carbon footprint and sequestering carbon, and these fellows are doing it automatically. They need to be compensated for that. If there is no other reason they should get help, that is a reason. We seem to be spending any amount of money on climate action and stopping fellows going here and going there and doing this and doing that, but these fellows are helping the carbon footprint and they deserve to be compensated for it or reimbursed for it.
