More North Sea Oil won't make much difference to anything, but it's interesting which manifesto commitments they are prepared to drop and why. Mahmood as Chancellor and drilling looks like a renewed attempt to go after the socially conservative voters Labour lost.

Bird fatalities drop by 72% when one rotor of wind turbine is painted black. #windturbines #greenenergy #birds https://www.ecoportal.net/en/painting-norwegian-island-black-turbine-blade-white-tailed-eagles/29212/

Painting 1 of 3 rotor blades black on 4 Norwegian turbines cut bird collisions by nearly 72 percent, and the white tailed eagles under them stopped hitting the rotors altogether

Smøla is a low treeless island off the northwest coast of Norway, and 68 wind turbines stand on it.
