We're not really active on here any more, but wanted to share today's news that the legal challenge against the consent to the Rosebank North Sea oil field has been successful:

Excellent & a bit surprising to see the @TheOilMachine on @BBCScotland. Experts warning that oil/gas are stranded assets and our economy, savings & pensions are totally entangled in the oil economy. Well made & compelling argument. Worth watching.

"Beyond the film: How will Scotland deal with the oil machine?" This was the question we asked at our event in Holyrood at the iconic @ourdynamicearth. It was a celebration of a year and a half of campaigning with #TheOilMachine as well as a reminder of the urgent need to act.

We invited Members of @ScotParl to our event but couldn't predict it would coincide with very tumultuous times: @scotgov dropping climate targets was a key factor in events that eventually brought down a @ScotGovFM.
One MSP did manage to join us though! Thanks @Ross_Greer.

Thanks to Rachel and the @TheOilMachine for organising such a great discussion on the future of North Sea oil and gas and energy in Scotland and Britain.
It was an honour to be in the illustrious company of environmentalists, trade unionists and scientific experts!

Many thanks to all for organising the @TheOilMachine event last night. A measured, thoughtful & beautifully filmed way into thinking about the UK oil & gas industry & how the same can-do spirit that gave us North Sea oil could yet deliver a rapid transition to a renewable future.
