Some welcome good news for a change:

And I might well get one of these:

Of course, dependent on price and research into likely time required for a return on investment, but a positive initiative.

Let’s just keep relying on expensive, polluting fossil fuels

I wish someone would make it clear to numerous dimwits in parliament that going ahead with the proposed Rosebank and Jackdaw oil/gas fields wouldn’t reduce the price of oil in the UK, as all oil is traded at prices determined on the world markets…unless UK production was nationalised and none exported which would no doubt cause a mass outbreak of fainting amongst said dimwits.

That said, I’m actually for these new fields as there’s so many other uses of crude oil other than for energy production: plastics, synthetic rubber and clothing, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, pesticides, tarmac, fertilizers…

Oil will always, always be needed, just stop burning so much of the stuff :unsure:
