It takes about 10 years to develop an oil or gas well.

Leave it under the sea.

It's not going to solve the current 'energy' crisis.

Screw vested fossil fuel interests.

Times have changed and #renewables are now much cheaper.

@wood5y This is proven by the fact that *all* the fossil fuel companies are investing in renewables.

@farbel Vested interests don't like to lose their undershirts. :)

@wood5y
If they spent the next ten years growing wind and solar farms etc we would be much more sustainable

@Christo_459 @wood5y don't forget strengthening the grid, storage and electrifying consumption (EVs, rail electrification, heat pumps etc).

@wood5y it's absolutely pointless. The output will be owned by private companies. They'll sell it at market rate. And as it'll make only a fraction of a percent difference to global production, it won't make a dent in demand or cost. The only benefactors are the fossil fuel companies (that pay very little tax). And the politicians that take their backhanders.
