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…

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…

So proud that our win on Horse Hill is changing the future for fossil fuel developments in the UK. We're hopeful that the Scottish court will declare Rosebank and Jackdaw unlawful. 🌹🐦‍⬛✊ #StopRosebank #StopJackdaw

Yes HUGE congratulations! And to the campaigners and supporters who were part of this journey. Not forgetting the lawyers whose expertise and eloquence made our case to the Supreme Court. A good omen for the lawyers making a similar case in the Scottish court today #StopRosebank!

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-…

Fossil fuel companies are laughing in our faces . While the planet burns , they continue to drill baby drill and expand their exploitation of people and nature . That's why I'm calling on the UK Government to ban fossil fuel ads – sign my petition now at lovera.ge/ban-ffa

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-…
