Britain Approves Controversial Oil And Gas Field

Handout photo dated August 24, 2018 shows Aasta Hansteen a floating production storage and offloading unit for natural gas operated by Equinor located 186 miles offshore in the Norwegian Sea. The British government approved the development of a huge oil and gas field in the North Sea Wednesday, sealing its commitment to keep producing fossil fuels for decades to come. The Rosebank field, situated northwest of Shetland in Scotland and majority-owned by Norwegian state-owned energy company Equinor, is the largest undeveloped oil and gas field in the North Sea, with the potential to produce 500 million barrels of oil. Its development has sparked fierce criticism for the impacts it will have on the climate crisis and the UK’s ability to meet its pledge to reduce its net carbon emissions to zero by 2050.
