the battle of #CCUS in #Alberta continues. PM calling for more gov't investment in #fossilfuels.
yes, we need #CCUS to make 1.5 attainable, but we're not having the real conversation abt who should pay for it, and what we can do with that $$ instead.

But did you know there is a collection of sub-datasets of these agreements' various design features ?
You can access this (growing) collection at iea.uoregon.edu/codings-IEA-de
