    "There is no longer a plausible route to climate stability without carbon dioxide removal; environmentalists must advocate for environmentally and socially responsible [Carbon Dioxide Removal] CDR growth. ... We must make it abundantly clear, repeatedly and publicly, that CDR ... is not a free pass for the fossil fuel industry ... "

    They are very serious about direct air capture funding not going to oil and gas companies for enhanced oil and gas recovery, so I'm guessing that's probably exactly what's about to happen.

    After all, "[CDR] requires, at times, allying ourselves with political and economic forces with whom we might otherwise disagree."

    There is still misleading language around soil carbon sequestration, but it's really good that the NRDC is encouraging people to set aside differences and take an all of the above approach to global warming.
