There can be no new drilling if we are to reach net zero. We have to take action to stop these cash-hungry fossil fuel giants from prising open long abandoned fields. Under this Tory government, fossil fuel firms, are being given tax breaks to help them. We have to introduce changes to taxation for new drilling to stop.We need to support a ramping up of action across some of the toughest areas to reduce emissions. We have to provide people and businesses with the assistance they need to cut emissions and build a green, net-zero economy. Climate plans have to give more investment in greener jobs for workers including at Mossmorran and Grangemouth.
