Should the Rosebank oilfield get the go ahead? (www.bbc.co.uk)

Rosebank, the largest untapped oil field in the UK, is off the coast of Shetland. Its approval by regulators is expected soon and production could begin as early as 2026.

Should it go ahead? If it does, what will be the environmental impact? If it doesn't, what's the alternative?

Long term thinking would be to continue to build off-shore wind farms that will continue to be useful once oil is phased out.
