Today, the UK government has approved extraction from the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea.
Previous polling on behalf of the Forum for Research on Energy showed that 6 in 10 Scots supported the approval prior to its happening:

On Rosebank, 64% say the UK Government should approve it and 16% say it should not. 63% say the Scottish Government should support both the Jackdaw and Rosebank projects going ahead, against 18% who say it should not.
55% say the Scottish Government should be more supportive of continued North Sea oil and gas production, 20% that its current position is about right and 11% that it should be less supportive. Among those who voted SNP at May’s election, 47% want the Scottish Government to be more supportive, against 30% who think its position is about right.
59% support developing oil and gas in the UK North Sea and 14% oppose it; 65% support expanding offshore wind around Scotland and 11% oppose it; 60% support building new electricity transmission infrastructure, such as pylons and substations, with 9% opposed.
On planning for that infrastructure, 34% would make the process faster even if communities have fewer chances to object, 27% would keep it as it is and 23% would give communities more chances to object.

1/4 A difficult defeat for the Greens. Polanski lost 33% to Labour’s 45%: a 3-point gap in May (inc CPA) is now 12, despite standing their leader and flooding the seat with activists. The “22-point rise/swing on 2024” ignores Feinstein’s 19%. Against the combined 29%, it’s about +3.
