It has already been shown, by authorities including the UK Energy Research Centre, that new drilling would not reduce oil and gas prices, or improve the UK’s energy security. It is also unlikely to produce durable jobs or major new tax revenues, as 90% of the UK’s North Sea oil and gas has already been burned, putting the industry in steep and irrecoverable decline. Companies are also demanding tax breaks to tap the new fields, which are harder to access than existing supplies.

Blue box with quote saying “Fossil fuel companies like Exxon cannot be trusted with people or the planet and yet political leaders have abdicated responsibility and let this firm dictate what happens. Big business is setting the agenda and trampling over workers and communities and our elected politicians are afraid to stand up to them.”

“Nobody in either the UK or Scottish Government appears to have learned anything from the closure of Grangemouth. They are floundering around trying to respond to decisions by companies, rather than actively shaping the future of our industries.”
