Wait, is that seriously it? 3 companies?

What did you misread? I don't actually see any evidence anywhere of a mistake from you.

The mistake is I misunderstood what I read and would probably not have shared this if I hadn't been half asleep.

Oh? Why not? I thought it was a good article.

It sounds like pr. If I had the inclination I'd look into 'real zero' a bit more because this is the first time I've heard of it.

Real-zero is definitely a real thing. It's not a particularly complicated or sophisticated thing, but it is real. All it means is zero carbon emissions. Not some emissions that you then offset by purchasing shady "carbon offsets".

Climate Integrity, whose reporting this article is based on, seems fairly legit, going through their history. Here's an release of theirs fact checking gas industry lies about gas cooking vs electric.
