Call for 'informed debate' on fracking

Fracking could boost UK energy supplies and reduce bills, according to Chris O'Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica.

The UK Government placed a moratorium on fracking in 2019, amid fierce local opposition in England and fears of earthquakes.

The BBC reports that Mr O'Shea said there needed to be an "informed debate" about fracking.

"We do have to be careful - if it does cause earthquakes, it's not something we should do," Mr O'Shea said.

Loan for tidal turbine redeployment

Simec Atlantis Energy has secured a £2.5million loan from Scottish Enterprise to support further tidal turbine redeployment at its flagship MeyGen project.

The money will allow redeployment of the remaining two turbines within the next 12 months.

Energy Voice says it follows successful installation of one of the company's turbines earlier this month.

The first of the next two turbines is scheduled for redeployment in May 2022, while the final unit will be installed in March 2023.

Shares in the Edinburgh-headquartered tidal energy developer rose by more than 30% on the news.

Relaxation of Covid rules

The legal requirement to wear face coverings in places of worship and while attending marriage and funeral services in Scotland has ended.

The BBC says that Covid mask laws for shops, some other indoor settings and public transport still stand.

The Scottish Government previously confirmed this guidance would remain in place until after the Easter holidays.

Face coverings also need to be worn in secondary school communal areas and by those moving inside the buildings.

Price of milk could soar by 50%

Dairy farmers have held crisis talks in Brussels over soaring costs and supply chain disruption, as the industry warns the price of a pint will jump by 50%.

Rocketing costs from feed, fertiliser and fuel have stoked fears in the industry of a surge in milk prices not seen in decades, according to the Telegraph.

The cost of four pints of milk will jump from around £1.15 to between £1.60 and £1.70 - an increase of up to 50% - says Kite Consulting, a UK adviser to dairy farmers.

John Allen, at Kite, said a 30-year period of low milk price rises is "coming to an end now" as costs surge on multiple fronts. He expects a typical pack of butter to rise from £1.55 to more than £2.

Oil terminals arrests

More than 200 people have been arrested at protests at oil terminals.

The BBC says activists from Just Stop Oil have obstructed access to terminals across England since Friday, demanding an end to new oil and gas projects.

In Essex, 155 people have been detained following demonstrations in the Thurrock area.

Meanwhile Warwickshire Police arrested 54 people on suspicion of a number of offences at the Kingsbury terminal.

People have been arrested on suspicion of offences including criminal damage, obstructing the highway and public order offences.

Scottish oil workers evacuated

Oil workers have been evacuated following a fire on a vessel off the coast of Shetland.

Coastguard helicopters from Sumburgh and Stornoway were called to a fire on the Petrojarl Foinaven floating production storage vessel on Saturday afternoon.

A number of crew were evacuated to nearby installations.

The vessel is about 95 nautical miles west of Sumburgh.

A BP spokesman told the BBC: "The incident, involving a fire in a store room, was quickly brought under control and 30 non-essential personnel were safely transferred to nearby installations as a precaution."
