OPINION - Controversy over Rosebank oil & gas field: The Leader podcast

A huge UK oil and gas field, Rosebank, has just been given the green light for development and production.

The North Sea Transition Authority has given consent for the site, which lies off the coast of Scotland.

The controversial decision has been made despite widespread criticism. The field contains up to 350 million barrels of oil and is currently one of the largest untapped discoveries in UK waters.

We’re joined by Jess Ralston, head of energy at the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit think tank. She shares her analysis on what this means for the UK.
