2/ However, the North Sea Future Plan still promotes carbon capture and hydrogen in a big way. Where these are based on gas supply chains (ie gas with CCS, blue hydrogen or hydrogen co-firing with gas), they still lock in fossil fuels and genearte large upstream emissions ...

🧵 /1 Hi @tessakhan.bsky.social - Thank you for your work. You and Uplift have succeeded here - you deserve huge credit 🙏🙏
Think you are right on North Sea O&G exploration and extraction now ... as long as there is still not a way for Govt to sign-off Rosebank in the small print (still a concern)

It is a historic and hugely welcome development for a significant oil & gas producing country, a G7 economy & a country with significant historical responsibility for the climate crisis to take this step.
Now onto the just transition part of the plan...

The v big news is that the govt has jettisoned the principal objective of "maximising economic recovery of offshore oil & gas" for the O&G regulator (the NSTA), replacing it with objectives that align with the govts broader socio-economic & climate objectives. An eminently sensible, welcome move

Huge news from the UK today: after UN climate talks in which there was a massive fight over language on fossil fuels, the UK government today announced that it will in fact be keeping many millions of barrels of oil & gas in the ground. Deeds rather than just words for a change! 🧵

Do we or do we not live in a country where these awful people got their way at almost every major decision point of the century so far? We do! Is it good? No, it is a national calamity. Are they sorry? No they’re not, they’re *absolutely furious* that they haven’t got more and worse.

It doesn’t make any difference whether the public are getting second hand inhalation off the BBC and Radio Norwich, or whether they’re honking it pure straight out of the crackpipe. It is all the same. A great Nordstream horseshit incitement pipeline, blasting 24/7 into every home in the land.
