UKOG on BBC Surrey today: "Having made the decision to move away from the oil & gas sector the company's prime focus is now in underground hydrogen storage." Having proved so unsuccessful in oil & gas, will they do any better in hydrogen? Here's our take: wealdactiongroup.org.uk/2024/10/do-uko…



UPDATE 🚨 Oil drilling at Horse Hill has FINALLY ended, 4 months after the site’s planning permission was quashed by the Supreme Court. Tireless campaigning by activists, and a legal complaint by Friends of the Earth, helped to stop the unlawful activity. drillordrop.com/2024/10/28/unl…


How much longer will the UK government continue to allow the fossil fuel industry to make behemoth profits whilst planet & people suffer? Enough is enough UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Rachel Reeves David Lammy @Ed_Milliband It’s time to #MakePollutersPay Make Polluters Pay


Following our Supreme Court win, the government is consulting on guidance for assessing the effect of downstream carbon emissions from offshore fossil fuel development. Planning authorities need guidance for onshore sites too Angela Rayner Ed Miliband gov.uk/government/con…

Congrats to @MadamPratolungo, who together with WealdActionGroup.bsky.social won the landmark oil drilling at Horse Hill legal victory, who has been named by TIME as one of the 100 most innovative leaders driving climate change. We're so proud to have supported the case.time.com/7172514/sarah-…



We've asked Surrey County Council to stop the sale of oil unlawfully extracted from Horse Hill. UKOG extracted tonnes of oil unlawfully. If burned, this oil could produce almost 1,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases. They should not profit from climate crime! wealdactiongroup.org.uk/2024/11/we-cal…

Campaigners at WealdActionGroup.bsky.social have written to Surrey County Council asking them to put a stop notice on the sale of oil produced at Horse Hill since planning permission was quashed in June. The group are represented by Leigh Day's environment team leighdaylaw.info/3Op6jf9



This is it: we are on the brink of stopping new oil and gas drilling for good. The government has paused approving new fields - and it is asking the public for views on how it should assess climate impacts of new oil & gas. Please sign this petition. friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/have-…
