The North Sea Transition Authority has granted development and production consent to the controversial new oil field in Scotland
An NSTA spokesperson said: “We have today approved the Rosebank Field Development Plan which allows the owners to proceed with their project. The FDP is awarded in accordance with our published guidance and taking net zero considerations into account throughout the project’s lifecycle.”Rosebank has become a hot issue for environmental campaigners, who have urged the UK government to wean off of the reliance on fossil fuels.
“The ugly truth is that Sunak is pandering to vested interests, demonstrating the stranglehold the fossil fuel lobby has on Government decision making. And it’s bill payers and the climate that will suffer because of it. Why else would he make such a reckless decision?”
