My latest for The Narwhal - as early as Dec 2021, oil companies in the Pathways Alliance were lobbying the federal government for “flexible, non-regulatory" rules for the emissions cap. They wanted a “long lead time” to prepare and they warned the tech they're relying on was "still on the lab bench"
