Big oil has been pushing carbon removal as the solution for decades. It’s been one of their ways of convincing the world that oil is okay to keep using. Don’t worry, carbon capture is coming!
I see your point. But also, at this point the only other option is we are all fucked. It may be naive cornucopianism, but I don’t see the point in assuming we are already doomed.
The article is saying we're the frog in the pot, and we're turning up the heat and telling everyone, it's fine because someday we will turn the heat down, maybe.

Yes, no silver bullet. The US grid is approx 20% nuclear powered and that's better than fossil, but we should prioritize renewable energy today.
