"Oil Company's Ambitious Plan: Extracting Carbon from the Sky While Continuing Oil Production"

TL;DR Summary
Occidental Petroleum, an American oil company, is investing in direct air capture technology to suck carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and inject it underground. The company plans to build large-scale plants to capture and store carbon, with the goal of offsetting its own emissions and potentially extracting more oil. While some see this as a positive step towards combating climate change, others argue that the focus should be on reducing emissions rather than relying on carbon removal technology.
