Few arguments about drilling in the North Sea have survived reality. Farage & Badenoch have claimed it will reduce oil and gas prices & improve energy security (it won't). The most persuasive arguments for Jackdaw are that it will boost UK tax revenues, stem job losses from North Sea oil, and that since the UK already relies on natural gas, approving Jackdaw will have no meaningful impact on UK emissions. Put simply, if the UK isn’t getting gas from Jackdaw, we’ll simply buy it somewhere else.
