Re: Regressive nation
Where is the money in decommissioning? Sounds a bit like recycling.

Putting aside oil for a moment, Scotland has fantastic potential for renewable energy generation from wind turbines - even Donald Trump knows this, since he's repeatedly sued the Scottish Government and lost over it!

Re: Regressive nation
There's an estimated 59Bn quid bill to decommission the North Sea - there's a significant amount of money to be made.
You can even do a Master's degree in it now: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/study/postgra...commissioning/

Re: Regressive nation
Good question.
I'm sure the operators voluntarily set the money aside to meet their obligations, since large oil companies would never be so callous as to let the bill fall on the UK taxpayer.
Successive UK Governments would definitely not let something like that happen, especially as there would be no political advantages whatsoever in doing nothing now and leaving it for a future generation to deal with...
