Controversial #JackdawGasField set to be approved in weeks, sources say
Simon Jack, 3 September 2026
"The #UK government is set to give the go-ahead for a controversial new #GasField off the coast of #Aberdeen, the BBC understands.
"Approval for the Jackdaw project could come in mid-September, just before #Parliament breaks for party conference season, according to government and industry sources.
"The gas field was approved by the former #ConservativeGovernment in 2022 but was delayed by a legal ruling from a #ScottishCourt, after #EnvironmentalGroups argued consent was given without fully considering the #ClimateImpact.
"Jackdaw's owner says it will account for 6% of UK gas output when at peak production but environmental groups say it will provide only 2% of UK use when imports are included.
"Campaigners launched legal challenges after Jackdaw was approved in 2022 and when the #RosebankOilField off #Shetland was given the green light in 2023.
"The Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled last year that #Rosebank and Jackdaw had been unlawfully approved because the government had failed to take into account the climate impact of burning extracted #OilAndGas from the sites.
"A judge ruled that more detailed climate assessments had to be published, and further estimates were put out for consultation in July.
"Both Jackdaw and Rosebank are operated by #Adura, a joint venture between energy giants #ShellOil and Norway's #Equinor. Aberdeen-based firm Ithaca also owns 20% of Rosebank.
"Adura has estimated that Jackdaw could produce 35.8m tonnes of carbon over its 11-year lifetime, the equivalent of 90% of Scotland's emissions for 2023. But it said a more likely estimate was about 23.6m tonnes - equivalent to 60% of the 2023 figure.
" #Environmentalists insist that more #drilling would be unconscionable, hampering efforts to cut planet-warming carbon emissions as deadly #heatwaves and #ExtremeWeather affect billions across the globe.
"They also say starting production would not protect energy security and that transitioning sooner to #GreenerTechnologies would be better for supporting jobs."

Political donations and lobbying are the poison in the well of democracy.
Money matters more than votes. The electorate can see this clearly.
#Burnham ‘s refusal to do anything about it will cost him dear at the ballot box because every decision he subsequently takes we know is influenced by who has paid the piper. He will play their tunes.
It’s already clear the #techbros and #bigoil are in his ear over #AI and #NorthSea drilling.

A climate strike is needed now. If you demonstrate you'll get arrested, because the UK is a recovering democracy, but mass staying home is an option.
Burnham and UKLabour REALLY want to get reelected.
Put green signs on all labour homes.
Byebye Labour Goodbye.
I had such hope for Andy.

A #whale stranded in #Germany #Deutschland and people are trying to save #Timmy the #humpbackWhale by barging it to the #NorthSea
Nice feel good story, right?
No
The effort is funded by a #rightWing agenda
What?
It's a political trap
If the left reacts sour, the average German gets angry at that and it's a right wing win
By using plutocrat money, and capturing the popular imagination, the right is creating political-emotional theater
The left must react carefully

US Leads Global Surge in Oil and Gas Expansion, Analysis Finds
"#FossilFuel corporations, and the governments that support them, will never stop unless forced to. Neither has any interest in the future of the climate, our world, or their own kids." - Bill McGuire
by Edward Carver
Jul 24, 2024"Five wealthy countries including the #UnitedStates have led a global surge in oil and gas development in 2024, threatening international #ClimateGoals, according to an analysis published by The Guardian on Wednesday.
"The U.S., #UnitedKingdom, #Canada, #Australia, and #Norway together are projected by the end of 2024 to have issued licenses for fossil fuel projects that will emit 11.9 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetimes—far more than in any of the previous five years, and roughly equal to a full year of emissions from #China, the world's highest emitter—according to industry data analyzed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (#IISD) and shared with the newspaper.
"The five states are responsible for more than two-thirds of all oil and gas licenses issued globally since 2020, with the U.S. alone accounting for half of the world total. President Joe Biden's administration increased oil and gas licensing by 20% over Trump-era levels, and issued a record 758 new extraction licenses in 2023, according to the analysis.
"'The U.S. has become a petrostate and is still, even under President #Biden, permitting new drilling,' John Sterman, a climate policy expert and professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's business school, told The Guardian. 'The developed countries don't show any significant efforts to limit drilling.'
"Sterman pointed to a 'fundamental contradiction' between rich countries' international commitments and their ongoing fossil fuel expansion. 'We can't keep going on like this,' he said.
"The industry's grip on U.S. politicians has made significant policy change in Washington difficult. In the past decade, fossil fuel companies have spent $1.25 billion on federal #lobbying and more than $650 million on campaign contributions, according to #OpenSecrets data.
"The Conservative-led U.K. government issued a surge of #NorthSea licenses in the first half of this year, but lost power to the Labour Party following a general election earlier this month. It's not yet clear if Labour will be able or willing to rescind licenses already issued. Currently the U.K. is set to finish 2024 with 72 licenses for projects that would create 101 million metric tons of #GreenhouseGas emissions over their lifetimes—a 50-year high, according to the IISD analysis. Norway and Australia are also seeing major upticks this year.
"Capital expenditure at the world's largest oil companies is up 60% since 2020, with $302 billion projected to be spent on well development this year, The Guardian reported. The fossil fuel expansion continues even though the reserves in rich countries are generally hard to reach, as more accessible reserves have already been tapped.
"The expansion also comes in spite of disturbing climate news—2023 was hottest year on record, June was the 13th consecutive hottest month, and Monday was the hottest day, having broken a record set the previous day—and dire warnings from leading international institutions. No new fossil fuel projects can proceed if the world is to meet the 1.5° Paris agreement target, the International Energy Agency declared in 2021."
