You're right, but this is also the problem. These oil and gas companies are spending so much on lobbying so they can limp along with lines like:
"We'll be clean as soon as someone else figures out carbon sequestration"
It's plastic "recycling" all over again. Yes we do need to spend money on studying these types of solutions, but we need to be VERY careful about letting very powerful industries abuse the system and gaslight their way into continued pollution.
Articles like this are an important reminder - if the major oil lobbyists see this as a good thing, we need to be asking why.
Absolutely agree.
