Excellent video. To save the planet we have to transfer their skills to renewable energies, and government has to help
Nice short movie
❤️
I hope the Scottish Government continues to push renewables to provide jobs to folk in Aberdeen.
The people of Scotland have never seen any overall benefit to having oil on our doorstep. All revenue is funnelled through Westminster, and they created barriers to obstruct the Scottish Government's renewable policies. SGov needs to push back harder and fight to save the planet and make it easier to transition to windfarm jobs.
If the wages go down, they don't go back up again, Sounds like fuel prices, but round the other way.
I dated someone who worked as an off-shore engineer for years, and this sounds all too familiar.
The big reset is so needed. How we relate to enviroment , our world, each other ect is so evident. We just lack the will and focus . Humanity is in crisis!!

Offshore work could be pretty brutal. Most worked 12 hr shift. 2weeks on 2 off. But if you didnt piss it away when you got back onshore then you made very good money. Also opportunity for advancement if you are prepared to move around. Some people couldn't hack it, but that is no reason to condemn entire industry. Aberdeen is shithole for housing, but mainly due to lawyers monopoly and corruption wrt development. Bought once, nearly got caught w/ crash in 1986/7. Vowed never again. Transition to green energy should be encouraged, but idea that producers pay for consumers polluting is bollocks.
