Record View insists it is vital we avoid the catastrophic destruction of communities that came with the end of our coal industry in the 80s
We must move away from fossil fuels, so it is right for the Scottish Government to plan for a future without oil. What is equally vital is we avoid the catastrophic destruction of communities that came with the end of our coal industry in the 80s.
Yet it has emerged the SNP-Green administration failed to meaningfully consult the Just Transition Commission ahead of launching its energy strategy. That is despite the document dramatically paving the way for a clean break from oil and gas with a “presumption” against new drilling. The verdict of Prof Jim Skea, the chair of the JTC, is clear: “We are deeply concerned about the lack of evidence of adequate policy actions to deliver a just transition for the energy sector.” The SNP-Green government strategy projects some 77,000 low-carbon jobs will be created… but not until 2050.
