Episode notes

The oil industry in scotland doesn't look after workers at all, says Vick. The fossil field industry world wide had the most workers exposed and sick with covet 19 because they refuse to improve conditions on offshore rigs or at pipe line camps. We're still dragging the oil industry with us as we pushed towards with ambitious netzuro goals. If we get it right, maybe we can show the world how to make a successful transition to a green energy system.

Among the wealthy, industrialized Western countries that created the climate crisis, Scotland is one of the leaders in pivoting away from fossil fuels – or promising to. Just how quickly will Scots be willing to cut off the flow – of oil, and money? Part 8 of The Repair, our series on the climate emergency.
