Rosebank Oilfield: Government Policy

Contribution

Thank you, Mr Twigg. I will keep my contribution brief. Like many others, I have signed the StopRosebank pledge on behalf of my constituents in Sheffield Central because we do not have an alternative to survival. There is no moral argument in developing more oilfields as climate breakdown continues. Unless we act now, we will be known as the generation that knowingly ushered in climate catastrophe. Rosebank fails on every test. It will not benefit taxpayers, who will shoulder the vast majority of the development costs. It will not strengthen our energy security, because most of the oil will be sold on international markets. And it will not reduce energy bills for our constituents, who will remain exposed to volatile fossil fuel prices. I want us to show the courage to invest in renewable energy for a cleaner future, which will allow us to show real climate leadership.
