Yes, that Exxon

Well, yeah, they would, wouldn't they. They don't sell coal, and getting rid of it would increase oil and gas demand.

This is like the Fire Nation warning us about Voldemort.

Or The United States warning us about Chinese spying.

~please buy our petroleum instead~

Sounds like a job for "clean" natural gas

As carbon capture slows

You can't capture carbon while burning coal! That's like trying blow into your own ship's sails with a fan to make it go! Carbon capture will only be a viable technology after we've already hit 99% gross renewable power. At that point, we can use carbon capture to offset the last 1% and hit net zero. But it won't work before we hit 99%.
