Climate activists have condemned the UK's decision to award 27 new oil and gas licenses, calling it a backward move. The licenses have been granted in areas prioritized for quick production potential. Greenpeace plans to challenge the licenses in court and mobilize voters to prioritize climate in the next election.
Many of the oil and gas licenses have been awarded in central and northern North Sea and west of Shetland Climate activists have slammed the announcement of 27 new oil and gas licences in the UK as"backward".
The North Sea Transition Authority said the licenses have been awarded in areas prioritised because they have the potential to go into production more quickly than others. It said the licences in the central and northern North Sea and west of Shetland were awarded first to let operators press ahead with their plans to explore and develop oil and gas resources.UK, said: “Greenpeace plans to fight these licences in the courtroom, and we’re mobilising voters to prioritise climate at the next election, because frankly we’re all sick of these backward-facing policies.
“The reality of the energy transition is that we need both oil and gas and renewables in an integrated system to protect the UK’s energy needs over the coming years."UK Energy Security Secretary Claire Coutinho said: “As recognised by the independent Climate Change Committee – we’ll continue to need oil and gas over the coming decades as we deliver net zero
“It’s common sense to reduce our reliance on foreign imports and use our own supply – it’s better for our economy, the environment and our energy security.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
