@afewbugs meanwhile the Tories

"On Tuesday, the Conservatives said policy should be focused on securing domestic energy supply to lower consumer bills, calling on the government to issue licences for new oil and gas fields in the North Sea and to scrap green subsidies.

Speaking on R4 Today programme, the Energy Minister Michael Shanks said he did not accept that drilling more in the North Sea was the answer to lowering energy bills."
