| 摘要： | At the turn of the 20th century until the 1980s, steelmaking, shipbuilding, and North Sea oil and gas played a dominant role in Britain's economy. Across Scotland and England's industrial north, they were the main source of economic output. Meanwhile, Wales had abundant supplies, and supply, of coal. Today, the oil and gas sector is the lone survivor - but it, too, is being hit hard. In 2008, the industry supported some 195,000 jobs in Scotland; as of 2021, it was around 70,000. Needless to say, the green transition is not going to do these remaining jobs any favors. However, a movement has begun to prevent this goldmine of maritime expertise from going to waste. Speaking at a UK parliamentary committee in September 2021, Jim Skea, professor of sustainable energy at Imperial College London, said, "The question to emphasize is: what are the skills and competencies in the oil and gas sector at the moment that can be redeployed to assist us toward a low-carbon economy? The oil and gas sector is very good at getting corrosive liquids and gases through pipes, managing the geology under the surface, and managing big, complicated, risky technical projects." |
