Yeah, oil companies shouldnt have to answer to the law

Absolutely, they do not see the bigger picture, no CO2 saved as another country will be pumping it out instead.

New topic, so a Scottish court bans the Jackdaw field coming into operation, total madness wokery, Scots will lose jobs and Shell have spent 800 million for the platform ready to be towed out. The worst thing is we will then be at the mercy of overseas dictators buying gas from them and paying billions for it. As someone who has spent time working in the North Sea judges should have no say in it.

It's not banned anything. It has said the permission was granted without taking all aspects of the UK Governments own criteria into consideration when making the decision, which is what the case has been about. The Judge has put it back to the Government to make the call.

The projects are going ahead as normal at the moment, pending this decision The UK Government will be on the hook for billions if they pull it now.

I work in oil, so have a vested interest, but if you want to shut down the oil industry, plans should have been put in place years ago. If we go ahead and kill it now, we will put thousands on the scrap heap and be reliant on imports.

Exactly the same thing happened with the coal mines and the miners. We were importing expensive coal from Australia and Chile up until a few years ago, when we could still have kept our own mines open. That was just just the mad cow (Thatcher) with a vendetta against the miners though.

The climate is f*cked. Only science can save us, if we can be saved.

Nice to know DeeDon, I worked on some workover rigs in the North Sea and some wells were capped for future use. But with that idiot Milliband in charge you never know.

That's a second body been found after those two Hungarian lassies went missing in Aberdeen.

A sad ending, but at least their bodies have turned up and their family can now mourn them.

I can only imagine, that the not knowing what had happened to them, would have been very hard for the family in Hungary

Strange one this, informed landlord they would not be returning....suicide pact maybe?

We can only assume it was some sort of suicide pact. There is little chance they walked all the way to that part of Torry, at 2am on a freezing cold night, and had an accident with one going in to rescue the other.

Just a sad way to go.

The picture of him signing the order, surrounded by young girls is more than a little creepy.

[Basingstokered]

More creepy than the people who think boys should be able to compete in girls sport
