Transition North Sea rig jobs to renewables

Boris Johnson has given the go-ahead for new oil and gas licences in the North Sea.
But, as the UK prepares to host key global climate talks this year, Boris Johnson said that we would “lead the way” fighting climate change.
This isn’t climate leadership. Instead of propping up the oil industry, the government should support North Sea rig workers to switch to jobs in renewable energy, support the Eastern region economy, and create green energy for the UK.
