The campaigners will argue that OGA’s strategy to “maximise economic recovery” of oil and gas is “irrational” given the UK’s target of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and also fails to take into consideration generous tax breaks afforded to the oil and gas industry. The UK is one of the most lucrative places in the world to drill for oil and gas as a result of government subsidies given to fossil fuel companies that cost the “public purse hundreds of millions a year”, say the activists, who have formed a new campaign group called Paid to Pollute. “I think we need to get our priorities straight in this country – we’re meant to be hosting Cop26 this year – and there’s still large amounts of support for an industry which is causing the most amount of harm climate-wise.” Rowan Smith, a public lawyer at Leigh Day, added: “Our clients’ case is that the OGA’s new strategy encourages companies to produce oil and gas without considering the economic repercussions of that on the public purse and the UK as a whole. The case argues that is unlawful, having regard to the terms of the OGA’s legal duty, and also irrational, because it will result in increased levels of oil and gas production, in conflict with the UK’s legal duty to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.” The Paid to Pollute campaign is being supported by a number of environmental groups, including Greenpeace UK and Friends of the Earth Scotland.
