Downstream: The Next Big Shock Is Coming. Green Energy Is the Only Way Out w/ Tessa Khan
Summary
Tessa Khan of Uplift argues that the UK North Sea is nearly depleted, debunking claims that new drilling will lower energy bills or ensure security. She contrasts the UK’s rapid resource depletion with Norway’s managed extraction and highlights the political pressure from the oil lobby to approve the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields. Khan advocates for a transition to affordable renewable energy, emphasizing that the UK’s wind resources offer immense economic opportunities and that ignoring the climate crisis risks severe future impacts.
