Can someone please explain to me how will more drilling alleviate people’s struggles? We should demand more from politicians than empty words. Let me say it again, drilling for more oil will only make things more expensive and raise your taxes so you can hold the bag for the oil industry.

Caroline Lucas@carolinelucas.bsky.social · 6d ago

Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness

Everyone that’s raging against Net Zero is trying to con you into being the bagholder for the failing fossil fuels industry. Most of the profits there are made, keeping the wells open is more expensive, it will not make energy cheaper, you will just subsidise someone’s yacht.

We should drill more oil though…

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
