You would be amazed by the amount of people who have swallowed the net zero stuff, even in Aberdeen. I would say the effects are now filtering through to everyone in the city though.
A lot of my friends who work in other sectors are feeling smug about the demise of the industry - their choices feel justified. Some ended up in lower paid work because they couldn’t get in to oil and gas,or had failed careers, some left the industry for renewables / grid upgrades and now have an interest in supporting that work.
Ultimately though it is these people who will suffer whilst the O&G workers gradually disperse accross the world as Aberdeen business winds down.
