Change. Clearly it is a popular policy by the public and heading up to the next election it would be a strange decision for the government to row back on anything with public support. Can the government have it both ways, say yes to granting licences for oil and gasp projects but at the same time it commitments to net zero . New licences for the north sea is not a change in Government Policy, we were expecting to see more.

What is left in the north sea is mostly oil. This is mostly exported, so there is little benefit to our bills from more extraction and in a cost of living crisis bills are a strong priority for the public. It is a strange decision to approve more when it wont help with our bills because they cant move the dial on internationally set prices and it
