PM announces 100 new licences, claiming UK fossil fuel projects key to meeting net zero aim
100?! What is wrong with these people?

Ah yes, how would they achieve net zero without fossil fuels??
*waves hands Infront of face*
Magic!
How do you make steel for wind turbines without fossil fuels? How do you build a nuclear power station without fossil fuels? How do you replace all the petrol and diesel cars in the country with electric ones, without using fossil fuels? Where is all the electricity going to come from? It's complicated.
I'm ok with this with the provision that these licences are ONLY issued to a UK nationalised energy company specifically set up to fund the green transition.
Since this is the conservative party, the chance of that is nill.
I'd like to take the time to remind everyone we only have like 47 years of known oil reserves anyway.
How about we send actual wrecking balls through the oil rigs instead?
Considering that a LOT of gas in the UK came here by boat from the middle east, then, yes, this is actually a good thing.
Don't get me wrong, we need to get to NetZero, but the plastic parts on your electric car are made from oil...
