Scottish refinery Grangemouth faces closure, prompting calls for government intervention to save jobs and energy security.

Sandy Easdale urges UK and Scottish governments to intervene to prevent the Grangemouth oil refinery's closure, warning it could result in 400 job losses and jeopardize energy security. The refinery, which supplies 80% of Scotland's fuel and contributes 4% to GDP, is set to be transformed into a fuel import terminal. Local MPs are advocating for nationalization and funding support to protect jobs and facilitate a green transition amid declining North Sea oil production.
