Drag him out of his office and piss on him in the streets.

CO2 injection is used to help extract oil from reservoirs, but getting CO2 there is expensive, Exxon wants the people's money (government subsidies) so they get a free ride producing cleaner (cheaper) oil from (economically) dead reservoirs.

And don’t forget, not only are they focused on oil but also lithium.

Because they know their goose is cooked but that won’t stop them double dipping in all of those Government hand outs.

I agree, it's not yet legal to shoot Exxon CEOs and executives on sight. Maybe we should take their example and consider the legal world more malleable than we do.

I volunteer the next one in the thread!
