Comment on New North Sea oil and gas licences will send ‘wrecking ball’ through climate commitments

That doesn’t mean we should give out new licenses

Depends. Will this save on all the oil wasted to ship new oil into the UK?

The point is to replace it in any case

Well we’re not quite where we can replace it, and won’t be for a while. Keep in mind that oil isn’t just burnt for transportation, we use it to make plastics too. And steel. And a ton of other shit.
