MPs are being urged to back North Sea oil and gas to help the UK meet its climate obligations as well as boosting jobs, communities, and the economy.
Energy industry leaders, trade union bosses and others have joined together in open letter to Labour MPs which insists that “support for the North Sea is about more than oil and gas”.
Claiming that current UK policies, including Labour’s opposition to new oil and gas developments, leave the country importing more than 40% of its energy needs from “volatile regions” regions, the letter argues using oil and gas from the North Sea “supports jobs” and “sustains communities”. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/labour-mps-told-backing-north-sea-is-about-more-than-oil-and-gas/a/158683154.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawTC4YNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeXRTuzp8Q_BEp9FQzcQPekCeXjASs_u49VA1W8sG_mrdIYooyNuwoB8yhOJ8_aem_cgq3I6xmB5_cMA-u6zVf0A
