Equinor made £29 billion in 2023.

29,000,000,000: a number so eye-watering, our brains need a little help. A million seconds: 12 days. A billion seconds: 31 years. 29 billion seconds is 899 years.

Yet still, their hand is outstretched for more tax breaks, more oil fields.

BREAKING: The UK gov has just issued 24 new North Sea oil & gas licences.

That's 24 licenses that won't help climate, energy security or our bills.

The gov needs to stop playing political games with energy policy. They’re putting our future on the line just to score points.

North Sea oil and gas claims fact-checked. And yes, the government is wrong bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

The Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill is (back) in the UK Parliament today, so here's a quick explainer on why the Bill won’t deliver energy security or bring down our sky-high energy bills:

🚨BREAKING: The UK has approved Shell's new Victory gas field.

Shell wants us to believe that a gas field like Victory will give the UK energy independence but it's a lie.

Victory will just drive the climate crisis further & keep our bills high, all while making Shell profit.

🚨 Help stop the controversial Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill 🚨

This new Bill would require the UK to hold annual licensing rounds for new oil & gas - during a climate crisis. But we can stop it.

Email your MP asking them to vote NO to the Bill:
