Interesting to think of it that way. Especially since the impacts of many projects extend beyond just the environmental benefits, a more encompassing term makes sense.
p.s. Where do we purchase the WattCarbon tote bags? ;-)
Agreed that "externality attribute credit" is good, and probably better than the other options, but it also doesn't speak to GHGs specifically. Do you think your tech can be generalized to other externalities as well?
Well, for example, another positive externality is a utility avoided cost. This feels pretty doable. Something like the health benefits of getting rid of a gas stove might be tougher, but if there was a reasonable proxy we could use it.
Also, we are firmly in camp Spell-Out-The-Acronym. eeeeeeaaaaaaacccccc.
It seems like that, if we integrated systems design thinking into the design of our products and solutions, then that would encourage more positive externalities through the transactions that take place due to the holistic view of the impacts each individual node has on the entire system.
I like it! Also don't underestimate your prose, well written!

We have t-shirts that say "Plant heat pumps, not trees"!
I just wish EAC didn't sound like "eek."
