Cambo oilfield project paused - Greenpeace comments

Responding to reports that the Cambo oilfield development off Shetland is being paused, Sam Chetan-Welsh, political campaigner at Greenpeace UK, said: 

"The world’s top energy experts have made it clear that we can’t afford any new coal, oil or gas if we want a chance to avoid catastrophic climate change. The economics of the Cambo oilfield were looking decidedly shaky, and the climate maths never did make sense. Both the Westminster and Scottish government now need to end support for new oil and gas infrastructure. They should urgently deliver a just transition to clean energy, providing the money, policy and training to ensure the communities who have relied on the oil industry can move to the green jobs of the future."
