A huge betrayal. Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks. And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling. www.lbc.co.uk/article/ed-m...

The Iran War fundamentally changes the security of our gas supplies and we need options. Meanwhile renewables build out continues at full tilt. When the facts change, either you can change policy to reflect reality, or you can engage in political posturing. Sad to see you've chosen the latter.

New licences won't help with the immediate crisis and they tie us to fossil fuels for yet another decade, assuming it even lasts that long. It also means we're stuck with an increased level of fossil fuel lobbyists engaging in corruption. We could put those resources into accelerating renewables.
