Yeah, it's like fracking in that sense, the best argument is "this gets us on national resources while we're transitioning" - sadly I'm left arguing against because I don't trust successive UK governments to do enough transitioning if they have lots of existing rigs and fracking sites

Tories and Reform are eager to start but they can only fuck things up so much in power if they have to start from scratch & green energy is further embedded ("I'm going read of net-stupid-zero wind turbines -- what do you mean, 'hurts grid capacity' and 'oppo are calling us Job Killers'?")

Yeah, i think it is underplayed that their is basically a global shortage of Hydrocarbons right now. Which very well could drag on for a very long time.

iirc the point is now the crisis is less about energy generation and more about literally everything else that oil is necessary for
