工党前副领袖哈里特·哈曼表示，她认为部长们将批准在备受争议的罗斯班克油田进行钻探——并且他们将辩称，将把收益投资于可再生能源。
Former Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman has said she thinks ministers will approve drilling in the controversial Rosebank oil field - and that they will argue they will spend the proceeds investing in renewable energy.
此前，能源大臣米娅塔·范布勒周三宣布批准在杰克道天然气田进行钻探，声称这将增强能源安全并减少从国外进口天然气的需求。
It follows Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh announcing she had approved drilling in the Jackdaw gas field on Wednesday, claiming it will boost energy security and reduce the need to import gas from abroad.

哈曼女男爵在天空新闻的“选举失灵”播客节目中说：“嗯，我猜他们会批准它[罗斯班克]。我认为他们应该批准，而且我认为他们应该强有力地提出这样做的绿色理由，即把收益投入到为我们本土可再生能源‘加速’上。”
Speaking on Sky's Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Baroness Harman said: "Well, my guess is they will approve it [Rosebank]. I think they should approve it, and I think they should strongly make the green argument for doing it of investing the proceeds into turbocharging our homegrown renewable energy."
她指出，部长们在批准杰克道的决定上也提出了绿色论据：“他们说……如果要做这件事，而且我们知道天然气将不得不成为我们能源结构的一部分，那么由我们在近处开采更好，因为我们可以施加条件，使开采过程中的碳排放更低。”她还提到了设立能源财富基金的宣布，该基金将利用北海油气税收收入帮助资助绿色转型。
She noted that ministers are making green arguments around the decision to approve Jackdaw: "They're saying... If it's gonna be done, and we know we're gonna have to have gas as part of our energy mix, it's better that we do it near at hand because we can impose conditions which have less carbon emissions during this extraction." She also pointed to the announcement of an energy wealth fund, which will use tax revenues from North Sea oil and gas to help fund the green transition.
哈曼女男爵表示，如果部长们提出与杰克道相同的论据，“那便是为罗斯班克开采提出的一个非常有力的绿色理由”。
Baroness Harman said that, if ministers make the same arguments as they did for Jackdaw, "that then is a very green argument for doing Rosebank".
杰克道和罗斯班克最初均由上届保守党政府批准。但法院于2025年1月推翻了这些批准，理由是未考虑燃烧开采出的石油和天然气对环境的影响。
Both Jackdaw and Rosebank were originally given the green light by the last Conservative government. But those approvals were struck down by the court in January 2025, who said the environmental impact of burning the oil and gas extracted hadn't been considered.
罗斯班克油田的规模远大于杰克道油田，且主要产出石油，这意味着其气候影响将远超杰克道油田。大部分石油还将出口至全球市场，反对者认为这无助于提升能源安全。
Rosebank is considerably bigger than Jackdaw and is mainly composed of oil, meaning the climate impacts would be much larger than those of Jackdaw. Most of the oil would also be exported onto the global market, with opponents arguing it wouldn't do anything to increase energy security.
工党在2024年大选宣言中承诺不再批准任何新的北海石油和天然气许可证。部长们辩称，由于杰克道和罗斯班克的审批流程已经启动，它们不算作新许可证。
Labour committed to not grant any new North Sea oil and gas licences in their 2024 election manifesto. Ministers have argued that as the process was already underway for Jackdaw and Rosebank they do not count as new licences.
我们的政治记者费伊·布朗报道称，许多工党议员对杰克道油田获批感到不满，如果法恩布勒批准罗斯班克油田，他们的愤怒将更甚。
Our political reporter Faye Brown has reported that many Labour MPs are unhappy about Jackdaw and would be even more angered if Fahnbulleh approves Rosebank.
一位不满的议员表示，虽然能源大臣“或许能蒙混过关”批准杰克道油田，但“罗斯班克油田完全是另一回事”。“无论她提出什么碳抵消和其他交叉补贴方案，她的立场都将站不住脚。”
One unhappy MP said that while the energy secretary "might get away" with Jackdaw, "Rosebank is a different story". "Her position won't be tenable no matter what carbon offsets and other cross subsidies she proposes."
