Around 90% of UK North Sea oil and gas ‘already drained dry’ – analysis

Official UK oil and gas statistics and projections suggest that 93% of the oil and gas that is likely to be produced from the North Sea has already been extracted.

Around 90% of UK North Sea oil and gas ‘already drained dry’…
New drilling could amount to just 1–2% of total extracted since commercial operations began and through to 2050.

Not a surprise at all

UK housebuilders put up the worst new builds in Europe - smallest rooms, poor quality build, crap insulation

Profit is everything and they won't even put in a £35 swift brick

They are an utter disgrace

ECIU: "EV sales for the month are up 46%, while petrol sales are down 11%, meaning more and more drivers are making the shift to cleaner & cheaper electric driving.

“The ZEV mandate continues to work as intended - increasing competition between manufacturers, driving down prices & driving up sales"

We're likely to find out tomorrow if the UK car industry hit its targets for EV sales in 2025, under the "ZEV mandate"…but will media report it accurately?

The headline target for 2025 was 28%, but in reality it's more like 20.4%, according to ECIU analysis
