 Andy Mayer14 February 2025 The UK needs gas. We need it for heat: 85 per cent of UK homes use a gas boiler. We need it for power: around a third of which came from gas generation last year. Roughly half of the "capacity market" required to back-up unreliable renewables on cold dark windless days comes from 90 gas plants. We need it for industry, with the "clean power" alternatives still 3-4 times more expensive. The Government's net-zero ambitions don't change this reality, nor will they for at least two decades. Those capacity market plants, for example, are all on 15-year contracts. Homeowners don't want heat pumps, and the data centres required for AI need our energy system to grow, not shrink. The UK and EU tested to destruction in 2022-23 the idea that we can rely on Russia to supply what we need. The price shock, and decision to underwrite prices, helped bring down Truss administration. This year we're seeing even the Norwegians wobble on exports as supporting us is driving up their domestic prices. It is surely a statement of fact, then, that the UK's energy security depends affordable supplies of gas. Yet we have some of the world's most expensive energy, due to over-reliance on imports, and the failure of the alternatives to fossil fuels to live up to their promise to cut bills. ...Daily Telegraph |

From my experience of SPDC and NNPC projects and sites it is pretty much always the locals who cause the spills and releases normally as a result of attempted theft or some form of vandalism or deliberate outright sabotage.
The money given and filtered to the community is enormous but sadly it rarely seems to go to the actual villagers - rather it goes to the leaders….
Make your own minds up but that’s the way it was 10 yrs or so ago |

The battle between Labour's pro-growth wing and the net zero zealots rumbles on. Last week, it was Heathrow expansion-when Rachel Reeves, desperate to prove her economic credentials, threw her weight behind a third runway. Ed Miliband and his eco-warrior allies weren't happy then...Now a fresh row deepens the divide in the party, as Reeves and Starmer are gearing up to give the green light to the UK's two biggest offshore oil and gas projects-Rosebank and Jackdaw. The boss of energy giant Equinor has already warned Miliband that blocking these developments would wreck the UK's reputation with investors. That's not just hot air...Miliband has in the past slammed the Rosebank licence as "climate vandalism". Meanwhile, the Labour Growth Group-a group of mostly New Labour MPs pushing hard on housing and infrastructure-are said to be against the oil developments. Some backbenchers are fuming, saying "This is a line in the sand for almost everyone in the PLP," and "a breaking point for a lot of us" as more grumbles about U-turning on manifesto pledges sow deeper divides. If Reeves and Starmer override Ed again in pursuit of the almighty G-word, it could be his breaking point......order order |

Ann BellThe billionaires can afford to embrace the "green policies" comfortable in their mansions , palaces, reflecting on how well their speech was accepted by their new friends at the WEF. The audience returning to their homelands in their PRIVATE JETS, whilst telling the rest of us to save the planet, use the green policies they have spoken so eloquently about.Unfortunately many of us cannot afford to TURN our heating ON, but must continue to pay the index linked increase service charge, for the PRIVILIGE of using the utility company. The GOVERNMENTS push to increase the change to "GREEN ENERGY" is at the cost of many PENSIONERS having the WINTER FUEL payment withdrawn ....Daily Telegraph |
