And I'm meant to think more exploitation of North Sea fossil fuels - a finite resource, more expensive to get, still affected by global oil prices, _causing CO2 which we need to cut to keep food-growing temperature down - is the way to go instead? I haven't banged my head!

Concagh the Elder has a decent case for why one might increased NS extraction but it's basically just for increasing the national/european reserve until a full green transition kicks in

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.

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
