Downstream: The Next Big Shock Is Coming. Green Energy Is the Only Way Out w/ Tessa Khan
Summary
Tessa Khan of Uplift joins Downstream to argue that the UK North Sea is an energy-rich zone for wind, not oil, debunking claims that new drilling will lower bills or secure energy. She explains that 90% of recoverable fossil fuels are already extracted, making the remaining reserves economically insignificant and environmentally dangerous. Khan critiques the oil and gas lobby’s strategy of linking climate policy to North Sea extraction, asserting that affordable renewable technologies and market restructuring offer a viable path to decarbonization without sacrificing public interest.
