As politicians in Westminster argue over whether to grant new licences for oil and gas in the North Sea, workers at Scotland’s only oil remaining refinery could be facing the sack.
Ensuring jobs in new green industries are there to replace those that are lost as we move away from oil and gas is called a “just transition.” So is there any evidence of that here?

It's not a matter of "could," but rather "how many" and "which ones."

😂 carbon bad, Putin bad, government our saviours 😂
no sh.t Sherlock
2800 jobs going from Abbey Wks for steel to be produced in India. Has anyone noticed the bullshit economics coming out of Government these days?
Net zero + green jobs = self harming
Delusional as usual.. better stop buying plastic, electronics, etc. ridiculous
What a stupid question in the title of the video.
Net Zero is forever for all humanity, any job losses will be replaced in decades, so the job losses are effectively zero.
As an example of the inverse: offshore wind farms require more staff to operate than a gas fired power station.
It's swings and roundabouts, if we worried about job losses all the time we would still be living in caves.
We need fewer refineries and those that remain need to be reconfigured to eliminate or massively reduce fuel production and to focus on petrochemicals such as plastics, lubricants etc. all of which should be strictly regulated regarding use.
Could net zero create jobs (and save lives?)
Spud from Trainspotting’s doing well
No jobs, No heat, No light, No power. Meanwhile China builds another Coal powered power plant, and becomes the most powerful nation on Earth, for the next 1000 years. A Earth that surprisingly isn't destroyed by climate change
Tata makes 2000 Brits redundant for the sake of greener energy, but ships the "virgin" steel plant machinery to India. It's not about being green, it's about business and power
I 👍
It will cost more than jobs.
Nice name for a girl sse
Sunak has no energy plan other than rape of resources, with the proceeds going to the new Oil concern Infosys "Sunak’s family firm signed a billion-dollar deal with BP before PM opened new North Sea licences". Keeping Grangemouth open would reduce the amount of Oil available to be immediately exported and reduce the margin for BP and Infosys to exploit. Energy settlement based on a 3 times inflated Gas price passed on to the consumer as increased Energy bills and back to the Government via a 75% Energy windfall tax is a PONZI scheme that collects money from all pays for the NI Tax cuts and imposes austerity is not going to create any Energy jobs as investors will not invest on the basis of the loss of 75% of their dividends and a cooked energy market.
The Grid infrastructure in the UK is great need of modernisation and replacement as well as support and extensions for Net zero in terms of storage and access to exploit new locations. The entire National Grid must be upgraded and so far only minimal investment has been achieved; There are currently two £3.8B Projects to provide undersea/ground electricity from Scotland to Northern England & Yorkshire directly connecting to the national Grid. There is simply no commitment from the Sunak Government to any uniformed energy infrastructure and they remain uninformed and politically biased to the past with no cohesive plans in any sector for the future.
This accent always reminds me of Braveheart. I think I'm gonna watch it again.
Close port talbot then buy and ship steel from China???
Net zero = utter lunacy
