One thing is certain though, their goal is not to stop producing product, but to find ways to do it while reducing their footprint. And not just carbon footprint, but footprint in general.
Only in the fossil fuel industry is shut down or bust the solution.
There is literally no room for doing it with less emissions and less of a footprint. Or working with countries & companies that do it better and cleaner. No, we bury our head in the sand and tell ourselves its no big deal with Europe buys NG from Qatar, or coal from some 3rd world ####hole to burn with no environmental protections in place at all, despite the fact that Canada is in a unique position to help on all fronts when it comes to natural resources.
Instead its 'nailed it' videos and get rid of it or bust propaganda.

You're making a ridiculous strawman. No one is denying that using natural gas as an energy source is better for the environment than burning coal. No one is saying that it's ok when countries burn coal and lack environmental regulations.
What I
am actually saying is that O&G companies have been, and continue to be, disturbingly unserious when it comes to helping speed up the energy transition to renewables. The amount they've invested into green energy is a drop in the bucket compared to the massive profits they make every year. Then you look at the destructive things they do such as lobby against carbon taxes, send their lobbyists to basically sabotage international cilmate conferences, and funnel money to climate change denial efforts.
