Just stop Oiliband

[Scott777]

It seems that our new energy secretary Ed (Bacon Sandwich) Miliband now wants to stop all oil and gas extraction from our own resources.
He's obviously a fan of Net Zero and Just Stop Oil.

I will admit to being in favour of clean air, and we do now have much cleaner air in the UK.

There is a problem - More than half of our energy requirements in this country are fulfilled by oil and gas and this cannot all be switched off without a viable alternative ALREADY IN PLACE. Otherwise we end up importing gas and oil which could be sourced locally. In global terms this increases the carbon footprint, not reducing it.

So, is this the start of the loony labour lefty's impression being stamped on Britain? If so, get your Calor gas stoves and heaters, and candles ready for this coming winter.

It was inevitable.  And for them, it's not about clean air.  Expect some of this:
