The idea of Exxon becoming “net zero” is a howler and we can’t let them get away with it.
We need to price the carbon emissions at the source. If they want to pass on the external carbon costs to their customers, so be it.

Get away with what, a talking point?

What if a power company buys a bunch of natural gas, with emissions already paid, then captures the burned carbon instead of emitting it?
Presumably the only reason they would is if they could get paid carbon credits for doing so.
But giving them credits seems pointlessly complicated to me, compared to just saying "no emissions, no charge".
