'Greening' Rosebank?

Many environmentalists think that the North Sea's Rosebank oil field must remain unexploited, if catastrophic climate change is to be avoided. It seems bizarre, however, that it's suggested that the output from a new Shetland windfarm, could be entirely used to fuel the Rosebank development (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/24/new-windfarm-could-be-used-to-power-north-sea-oilfield). Fuelling Rosebank would be using a 'green' technology to drive carbon dioxide and methane emissions even higher. The financial clout of the petrochemical is likely to win out but the windfarm's output would be better employed, powering people's homes.
