Bud's Offshore Energy (BOE)

JL Daeschler comments that after crucifying the North Sea oil workers who saved the country in the 1970’s, the perpetrators are calling for £1.9 billion in emergency funding to help their victims transition to green energy jobs. How noble of them! How much of the funding will be provided by those responsible for the industry’s premature death? 😡

Times columnist Gillian Blowditch got it right:

“It is difficult to imagine a world in which it makes sense to import oil and gas but not produce it, while forcing our skilled workforce to work offshore in far flung corners of the globe, especially when we are importing from Norway, which is extracting oil and gas from the same seabed for which we are refusing to grant licences.”

How many jobs are being created by government-driven energy transitions that seem to be moving in reverse? Where are those jobs?
