"Scottish ministers are urged to abandon their presumption against new oil and gas developments in the North Sea, with business leaders calling for full support from both Holyrood and Westminster. Russell Borthwick, Chief Executive of the Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce, stated that the presumption against oil and gas is disconnected from reality, given the current energy crisis. The UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero emphasized the importance of investing in clean power transition while balancing energy needs and climate obligations. Former US President-elect Donald Trump criticized the UK's retreat from oil and gas production, urging for the North Sea to be opened up for development."
