It is at least saying that coal or gas with CCS (however they calculated costs for CCS...) will be (in 2025) costlier than coal or gas without it. And very considerably costlier than wind or nuclear. They're not doing CCS any favours.

This is simply accuracy. CCS is inherently insanely expensive due to the massive quantities of carbon that needs storing - there is no cheap way to do that.

Quite. But accuracy from Exxon-Mobil may be saluted.
