Den som vinner mest på at Stortinget øker lønna til representantene er, ironisk nok, Rødt – som nå kan håve inn enda mer partiskatt

Equinor announces plans to develop several smaller fields using subsea technology, connecting these to the Troll platform. Will partly run with electricity from on shore (bad news for electricity bills in Western Norway). www.equinor.com/news/2026061...

Just passed below my favourite bridge: Hangarbrua is made from upcycled aluminum from the heli-deck of the Gyda platform in the North Sea. Now serves cyclists and pedestrians in Trondheim. So poetic!

Forsvarsforliket vil koste 121 milliarder, mens oljeskattepakka kan ha kostet staten 68 milliarder i tapte statteinntekter. Nå har et flertall på Stortinget altså bestemt seg for å legge de 35 milliardene til satsingen på flytende havvind under lupen. Hva skal verftene leve av framover?

Quality content covering the systemic inadequacy of regulators to make polluters pay in Canada. Both funny and infuriating. (Good thing none of this applies to our incorruptible, flawlessly governed North Sea🙏)

Jobs boom in cleanup?! New report from the @civicgovernance.bsky.social finds that cleaning up Western Canada’s backlog of unplugged and unremediated oil and gas wells could create approximately 11,000 full-time jobs over the next 25 years. ccg.eco/research/job... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli

Klassisk moralsk panikk! Får meg til å tenke på denne boka:

Vradis is also a colleague at the University of Oslo from where he is currently on leave. I expect to see strong reactions from both the university and the government of Norway.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is spot on here, the Greens aren't splitting the left vote because this Labour party isn't left wing.

De-decommissioning: Norway is investing billions in order to open oil & gas fields that were decommissioned in the 90's, citing geopolitical situation

Local elections are coming up in some municipalities in England tomorrow, while the Scots will elect a new parliament. Last week in Leeds I went canvassing with Cristiana Mirosanu, a committed trade unionist and eco-socialist candidate running for the Greens. Best of luck!

Right now there are around 15,000 North Sea oil and gas workers who are facing the cliff edge of employment in the mature basin. We've published research that shows a way forward for at-risk workers, if the UK moves fast enough. A thread on the real jobs opportunity no one’s talking about 🧵

Happy cinco de Marxo!

Mayday, mayday! The big day is approaching fast and I still have not found a single event! Preferably in the UK North-East, but anything goes at this point, really.

Will be following this output with interest!

Israel destroyed all of the town of Al-Khiam in southern Lebanon within a month.

My morning got cheered up by reading about Australian unions putting forward demands for rigorous and timely decommissioning to create lots of local jobs in the circular economy – while also stating that the polluters should be paying: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/4968db/conte...

North Sea operator company is fined £16.5 million for failing to deliver timely plugging & abandonment of inactive wells

Brits: What do you do on the 1st of May? Do you really treat the internationational worker's day just like any other?

This little documentary from @platform1983.bsky.social is spot on about the need for a just transition on the North Sea platformlondon.org/multimedia/o...

"The health ministry said 110 of those killed were children, women and elderly people" Just awful.

Wetherspoons is like Ikea, but a pub

Israel passar på att bomba synagogan i Teheran.

Landet som oppfant atombomba truer med å "utslette en hel sivilisasjon". Dette er å spre frykt for å oppnå politiske mål og noe USA ikke ville nølt et sekund med å stemple som terror hvis det kom fra annet hold. Kan vi værsåsnill kutte alle millitære bånd til Trumps USA nå?

The CfP for this year's Historical Materialism annual conference in London, under the title 'Planetary Warscapes Ablaze: Imperial Mutations in Infernal Times', is now online! Mark it in your calendars, prepare your abstracts, book your travel!

It is rare to see legislation requiring fossil companies to set aside money for decommissioning. Here are some interesting reflections on what should change: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Credit where its due, Miliband's stance on the North Sea is exemplary

In his book Uneven Development, Marxist geographer Neil Smith described capital as a plague of locusts going from place to place, but today I came across another neat simile: Capital as a serial killer (from Burill & Penny 2025 www-taylorfrancis-com.ezproxy.uio.no/chapters/edi...)

Quite shocked to learn about the levels of debt facing brits going to university. Tuition fees are through the roof and unless you are from a wealthy background you will have to pay an usurious interest rates on your loans – effectively constituting an extra tax for the working class.
