This is an insane policy move by the Tories. A must read is, Professor Bill McGuire's book The #FateOfTheWorld. #Renewables are critical, no more oil & gas.

Post from Professor Bill McGuire "#FOTW Daily Post 2

Fossil fuels are just old sunlight - stored solar energy from deep time that we're now burning all at once. The sun already sends us 10,000x the energy we need. We're digging up the past instead of making the most of the gift above

All of which doesn't add up to a row of beans. Badenoch is deluded and Andrew Griffith was a Treasury Minister in the doomed Liz Truss mini-budget. Who in their right mind would vote for Austerity 2.0 Conservatives to fix 14 years of mess left behind by Conservative Party governments? #ToryHypocrisy

Karoline Leavitt isn't "fierce"—she's dishonest. And Karoline Leavitt isn't "nimble"—she shamelessly dodges both questions and the truth. She is the same type strenuously unhelpful liar Trump has always had for his press secretaries.

The NY Times uses words like “fierce,” “steely,” “nimble” and “homegrown star of the Trump White House” to describe Karoline Leavitt, who just got a Fox News gig. Not a single mention of her relentless lying to the American public. Reporter Michael M. Grynbaum and his editors suck.

You probably don't know but before 1964 nobody owned the seas surrounding the UK. They were common land. In 1964 they were all given to the King, so now all the Wind Turbines and Oil Rigs in the UK pay rent to him. They should all be placed back under Government control. It's a scam.
