Brom, well reading this article it seems like they are using data and information from Energy Policy Research Foundation, or EPRINC, these guys are clearly funded by the Oil and Gas industry to smear any other form of energy, I am an investor in TXP because I believe Oil & Gas should be part of the energy transition and will have a part to play beyond net zero too but these guys clearly want to keep O&G forever and don't care about what happens to our world in the coming decades. This paragraph from the article sums up for me that this is a smear peace for renawables and EPRINC are O&G funded and not impartial in this transition :-)
