This means that MORE oil is being burned to produce MORE CO2 (for MORE profit of course
and MORE political bribes as a result).


And, to tie the complementary scams together, one fifth of the headline number was from
this crock of shit:

So, the CCS (greenwash) scam is being used to support both the hydrogen (greenwash) scam
AND the Business As Usual fossil fuel industry.

Yeah, real fucking progress there people ...
