Episode Details

The Rosebank oil field’s consultation period has ended, bringing the UK government closer to a final decision on whether to greenlight this massive North Sea project — alongside Jackdaw — which could inject over £10 billion into the economy and supply 10% of the nation’s gas. But environmentalists are sounding the alarm, warning that Rosebank alone could emit 250 million tonnes of CO2 — nearly 70% of the UK’s annual emissions — at a time when climate impacts are intensifying. After legal challenges stalled previous approvals, ministers now face a pivotal choice: support energy security and jobs, or prioritize climate goals — with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero insisting oil and gas will remain part of the UK’s energy future for years to come.
