We currently have very limited stocks of gas, its a no brainer to extract gas from the North Sea.
Sounds like a win-win-win solution? It doesn't change the marginal price of gas, actually reduces greenhouse gasses because it's locally sourced and not shipped here from the US, and the government gets to collect tax revenue? And it creates economic activity here instead of abroad? And the tax will be used to invest in more "green" energy? Why do you guys sound so downbeat? There are literally no downsides
No belive it when ì see it happen
Where is our sovereign wealth fund?
So the government has granted a licence years ago, approved the exploration and development and when the licence holders have invested billions and now want to start production, do people really think that the government can simply change its mind and refuse production consent without being liable for the huge wasted costs and lost production? Too much naivety and ignorant chatter.
Mostly peaceful drilling
Let us hope that their pipelines are more secure than Nordstream,seeing how vulnerable they are ?
All we heard is that there won’t be a difference to price. What ? Why do it then??
Drill drill drill baby need more oil fields bring back British industry too.
North see is literally filled with gas and oil.... Its time to finally start drilling😊
Drill drill baby❤🎉😊
The country was facing a winter of power cuts without it due to the ridiculous knife edge the govt has put UK energy supplies on. The cause being the whole Nut Zero shambles which was NEVER going to supply the UK grid needs and NEVER will. We are self sufficient in natural energy resources, we should be using ALL of it.
If you’re so opposed to fossil fuels, then don’t use gas to cook your meals or heat your home during winter. But don’t expect the rest of us to give up our everyday comforts just because you disagree with how we choose to live. The BBC is insufferable with its constant moralizing while ignoring the practical realities of everyday life.
Great and sensible decision, only idiotic greens are against this..
Labour is dead the only left leaning party that remains is green party.
omg, burning all these gas will harm our planet 😡
