Comment on Government approves drilling in Jackdaw gas field in North Sea

Just 27 jobs?! I guess most of the jobs will be during the construction?
Ami McCarthy, head of politics for Greenpeace UK, said: “Approving Jackdaw shows the toxic grip fossil fuel lobbyists still hold over our energy policy.
“Andy Burnham promised pragmatism, but there is nothing pragmatic about rubber-stamping a project that won’t lower energy bills, won’t boost energy security and will create just 27 full-time jobs.”

My understanding is that it’s largely already constructed - they just didn’t have the go-ahead to start drilling until now.
