Thanks to cross party colleagues for signing our

letter to Energy Minister urging her to scrap new Bill to “max out” N. Sea’s oil & gas reserves. It undermines our global

commitments, reverses UK leadership & fails to deliver lower bills or energy security

@JohnLoader6 @CarolineLucas of course! The SNP has been against all new exploration for some time now, permitting only extraction of existing sources and a phased transition and retraining of the workforce into renewables. The workforce themselves are neither blind nor stupid, and many of them have already made their own transition out of fossil fuels and into renewables.
Scotland is already a net exporter of other forms of energy, foodstuffs, Whisky, salmon and satellites. We don’t need oil!
@CarolineLucas will SNP vote against the creation of a revenue stream that would support their self sufficiency snd hence independence?
