We’ve just had misleading pro-oil language stripped out of the Hampshire Minerals & Waste Plan!
The claim that onshore oil “makes an important contribution to supply” and benefits from being close to centres of demand, has been deleted.

Do @surreycc.gov.uk realise UKOG is just stringing them along to avoid restoring the site (as they are doing at Broadford Bridge)?

Just a week after receiving objections from us, @sosbiscathorpe.bsky.social and others.
The industry is realising there is no justification for investment in onshore oil and gas.

Rosebank's oil could generate 254 million tonnes of CO₂e equivalent over its lifetime. Equinor's claim this would "not cause significant harm" is dishonest.

Our win is now facing its biggest test: Rosebank. The govt must reject this climate-wrecking project once and for all
@stopcambo.bsky.social
@sarahfinch.bsky.social took Big Oil to court and won. Her landmark Supreme Court case ruling now forces every new fossil fuel project in the UK to face its true climate cost.
Power, persistence, and hope.

Bad news! It ignores onshore oil and gas production.
Every year, millions of tonnes of methane are vented, burned, and leaked from UK onshore oil sites

The ability to request judicial review is a vital safeguard against the govt making bad decisions and ignoring environmental rules & agreements.
Without the Aarhus Convention, @wealdactiongroup.bsky.social and I would not have been able to bring our case on oil production at Horse Hill
The government is considering leaving the Aarhus Convention, which allows groups to judicially review environmentally damaging proposals without massive costs if they lose.

It also goes against the Planning Inspectorate’s advice that the second runway plans should be refused for a number of reasons, including the greenhouse gas emissions.
Glad to know that legal challenges are on the way.

🎯 Cutting methane is one of the fastest, cheapest ways to slow global warming. Urge Ed Miliband & the UK Govt to commit to strong, enforceable rules in the National Methane Action Plan.
