The House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee said the country's EV strategy needs a rapid recharge. "A successful transition to electric vehicles is essential if the government is to meet its legally binding net-zero target by 2050," according to the committee's report. Kate Parminter, chair of the committee, said: "Surface transport is the UK's highest emitting sector for CO2, with passenger cars responsible for over half those emissions." Initially, the British government had intended to phase out

Britain Approves Controversial Oil And Gas Field

Handout photo dated July 17, 2008 shows Statfjord C oil and gas field in the North 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.

Britain Approves Controversial Oil And Gas Field

Britain Approves Controversial Oil And Gas Field

Handout photo dated November 27, 2012 shows the Heidrun oil and gas field 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.
