Instead of plotting ways to end our peaceful action, they should hammer out a plan to give their workers and the communities that depend on them a future. Because there\u2019s no future in an oil industry that\u2019s fuelling a climate emergency threatening millions of lives around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBP\u2019s rig is heading for a dead end, and Scottish jobs and businesses should not be dragged along with it. Scotland\u2019s economic future lies not in a hole at the bottom of the North Sea, but with the renewable technologies in which the nation is already a world leader. Business as usual is not an option. BP has to stop drilling for more oil and start a 180-degree pivot towards renewables.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n<p><b>Photo and Video regularly updated here: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/collection\/27MZIFJ82ALXR\">https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/collection\/27MZIFJ82ALXR<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Contacts:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace UK news team, +44 (0)20 7865 8255, <a href=\"mailto:press.uk@greenpeace.org\">press.uk@greenpeace.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace International Press Desk, +31 (0)20 718 2470 (available 24 hours), <a href=\"mailto:pressdesk.int@greenpeace.org\">pressdesk.int@greenpeace.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scotland\u2019s economic future lies not in a hole at the bottom of the North Sea, but with the renewable technologies in which the nation is already a world leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":22572,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_planet4_optimize_post_is_variant":false,"_planet4_optimize_experiment_name":"","_planet4_optimize_variant_name":"","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[69,99],"tags":[19,87],"p4-page-type":[98],"class_list":["post-22571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy","category-ships","tag-arctic-sunrise","tag-oil","p4-page-type-press-release"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22571"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22574,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22571\/revisions\/22574"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22571"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=22571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
