There is a difference between cheap and affordable. Its important. Venezuela has cheap petrol. You wouldn't want to live there (people who live there don't). I support your point, but avoid the trap set by greenies who will counter with how cheap per mile electricity is. It may well be (provided you are using your own house supply) but it isn't affordable by ordinary people. The car itself is stupid money, then you have to have the charging port fitted.

Friend of mines electric car 'died' on the outside (fast) lane of an A road, in a thunderstorm. Everything died: no lights, no HAZARD LIGHTS, nothing. AA arrived, had NO IDEA what to do, as did the police. After googling the situation, the AA guy suggested my friend closed the door to see what would happen. My friend refused as he thought he might not be able to get back in. The police asked him why he hadn't displayed his triangle - erm - the boot was locked.... .. Long and short of it - in the dealers for a week whilst they sorted it. This is 2 year old Jaguar E Pace!!! Much more needs to be done before we are ready for electric cars.
I am ecstatically happy that North Sea exploration will go ahead to secure our energy use going forward. I am sick of the renewable wind farms and solar being the answer to our need, they do not meet our or go anywhere need the power that is required. Wind turbines need oil lubricants to keep the working when the wind blows, solar is fine on a bright sunny day but they don’t work at night or in the dark days of winter. Nether or both together will make enough electricity it’s a huge lie and we will pay for it.
Just how stupid do you have to be to think that North Sea oil and gas is ours to use???? It does not belong to us ffs. It belongs to a bunch of foreign companies and will be sold on the open market. It provides us with NOTHING!
When it comes to self sufficiency in oil and gas production, we have to ensure that the oil companies satisfy our needs first before shipping abroad. How about also an increase in refining capabilities?

@@Drmerlin604do you mean all the climate scientists paid for by governments, who dare not say anything else or their pay cheque disappears. Are they the same scientists who predicted a new ice age in the 60s and 70s ,or the nes who said oil would run out by 1990s ,or as the grand con artist Al Gore said in 2004/5 by 2014 we would be able to sail across the North Pole because all the ice would be gone. I'm 72 years old and I have heard numerous prophesies of doom for the last 60 years.......none have happened.
Of course, as the law currently stands UK HMG will not see a penny of tax on the receipts from any new fields, as Petroleum Revenue Tax ceased to apply to new UK Oil Fields since 1993 and the tax on existing fields was zero-rated in 2016. Perhaps the tax situation needs to be re-considered, if only to protect the UK from the potential of ruthless price gouging and profiteering by the energy companies . . not that that's ever happened in the recent past.
The whole point of all this is to have self-sustaining energy and power for ones country then to go on from there. The UK does not need to do that much as it already has the infrastructure going forward for many many years to come. But with this fascination over green and renewables, I'm afraid we are just too early in our time to count on anything new at this current time. Because all current renewables have proven to be nothing but red herrings. Unless new unlimited energy suitors come forth, sadly it best to keep on going with what the the UK already has that's been working for decades. Net Zero is just an unwanted fallacy.

Any and All oil and gas, wherever it comes from, and no matter how much you extract it will never make the price cheaper. All hydrocarbons are always sold at the current world prices.😊
Not really, the gas extracted from the north sea raises huge revenues that can be used to offset prices domestically. This is done in the US where domestic gas and oil prices are very low compared to the UK.
Most often, sexual abusers know the child they abuse but are not relatives. In fact, about 60% of perpetrators are nonrelative acquaintances, such as a friend of the family, babysitter, or neighbor.

HMG killed Swansea Bay tidal project, . . . Fore knowledge of the oncoming UK nucleur powe deficit and Ukranian war inspired energy shortage ? What planning !
It will not have escaped Julia's attention that the receipts from UK oil fields first exploited since September 1993 are not subject to Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) and from 2016, PRT was zero-rated on oil fields which were first exploited before 1993. Oh dear, perhaps PRT needs to be re-introduced for these new fields to prevent excess profiteering from the energy companies . . . . not that they'd make the most of a windfall at customers and HMG expense.
What about the 15+ million mature trees cut down each tree captuers around 48 lbs a year the trees were cut down to place Win Mills Yes that's true so much for the green energy.
This is often a very narrow discussion which is always also the big mistake of activists. We cannot only focus on electricity and heating as an issue with using oil and gas. The products extracted from crude oil are the mainstays of modern life. Unless we want to step back over 70 years and have SOME substituted items made from coal, cast iron and glass, People have so many products made from plastics, essentials such as spectacles, contact lenses and mobile phones, laptops, medical appliances, industrial gases, chemicals for pharmaceuticals, lubricants, paints, adhesives, laundry products, shoes, cosmetics, man made fabrics, engineering seals, sealants, varnishes, solvents, asphalt, insulation materials, window frames, house gutters, pesticides, epoxy for vehicles and industrial adhesives, wiring insulation, headphones, TV sets and flat screens. Road fuels are basically a heavily taxed, yet small by-product of oil cracking, very low in the priority. Until an activist has an alternative for ALL of those products, then we will always be using oil. Yes, we talk about Nuclear for electricity but have still not solved the problem of what we do with nuclear waste, apart from kicking it down the generations as someone else's problem.
Oh dear lord…. You celebrate plastics and then complain about the challenge of dealing with nuclear waste. Do you you have the first clue how ridiculous you sound?
If Westminster was so concerned with net zero carbon emissions then why is it all too happy to fund space launches in India?

Child labour is also being used There is no climate emergency 97% of co2 is made by the earth, co2 is the gas of life I cannot understand why millions of people already know this but those at the top and in media fail to understand this, it’s not as though there isn’t an abundance of information and science available to Verify all of this.

My admiration for 'JSO' burns eternal ☝️🙂 They have 100% succeeded, in p*ssing off & alienating their target audience, where no other organisation, has remotely come near, to doing so. Long may they continue to do this. They are legends 😂
True, many years ago Drax stated they would implement it, storing it underneath the north sea. Then scrapped it, too expensive. Considering CO2 is not the control of warming, it is a futile and wasteful attempt
Should be remembered that some of the same drivers of this, are the same people upon who's watch, the car emissions scandal happened. -To be dictated to by the mendaciously incompetent...
Electic cars will be no cheaper to run than petrol/ diesel and the cost to buy one is astronomical at the moment the cheapest around 29,000 for a small one , this i think is all to get people back on public transport, lets face it most working class people won't be able to afford an electric car .
ah yes public transport, I drive my small vehicle for one journey to work, one journey home, the massive diesel bus drives around all day, whether it has passengers or not, not so eco is it, so one it is actually more harmfull, 2 its a drive to take away our freedom to use the technology available because rheeeeeee rheeeeee eco waaaaaaa retarded educated opinions
JULIA TALK TV as far as i'm aware the UK has never consumed one bit of the GAS & OIL we've extracted from the ground. it all goes to the open Market,, It should be Nationalised along with Water & Sewerage, Coal, Electricity , Gas/Oil then we use what we want at Cost plus 20% then we sell the rest at Market Price,, NO Politician should have the Power to Sell OFF NATIONAL ASSETS, without the SOVEREIGN PEOPLES PERMISSION .
The point is we need to massively increase wind, solar and nuclear as well as North Sea oil. At present, we have a confused and disastrous inaction policy. In addition, allowing massive corporations to run roughshod is not a solution either....
As for electric cars and green energy. Anyone in National grid or the regional electricity companies will tell you that there is NO capacity to link more renewables and EV’s to the grid. The infrastructure is groaning under the weight NOW. Any further electrification is impossible without a complete revamp of the whole network at 100’s billions £. Not possible - if you started now it would take 40 yrs to get any substantial change.
If engineering evolved as quickly as tech, we wouldn't have an issue, but these are two completely different entities that do not correlate. Its like enacting a dream immediately after you've dreamt it. Engineering is dependent on the physical environment, it's not a push button operation...
Every single solar and wind farm in the UK lies about how many homes they can supply by 500%. They use the OFGEM average house that uses 80% gas and just supply the 20% electric!
They also use another trick. They quote the 'nameplate' or installed (as it's also known) capacity. That is under ideal conditions. Which occurs about 25% of the time.
@@rjones6219 Yes, the rule of thumb is to double the nameplate figure to get the power output. e,g.. 20 MW nameplate = 40 MWh output on average. Each 1 kw of nameplate produces 2 kwh of energy - an average through the year. When you do this to the nameplate figure and divide by the 20% electric house use you get the situated number of homes supplied.
Good luck with carbon capture and storage, and although you are right about needing oil and gas to maintain our current economic structures, burning it all will exceed our carbon budget with predictable consequences. We cannot defy the laws of physics.
What exactly does she mean by "carbon capture"? Is she going to stockpile mounds of soot or maybe hoard diamond dust? I get so fed up of these science free statements.
Pampered woman who has never worked a days hard manual labour in her life or walked more than a mile carrying a heavy burden, bemoans that some evil people think she shouldn't be carried everywhere, warmly cocooned in air conditioned comfort, drifting between one convenience and another. When life gets real, people like this are worse than useless and soon learn to keep their voice down.
New oil and gas fields? What's the problem ,they have been telling us for years that the oil and gas would run out. So let it and then we wont have to worry about net zero.
By all means drill for oil and gas, do not have a problem with that. What i have a problem with is the PM lying about why we are doing it, and media outlets like this one perpetuating those lies. North Sea Oil will NEVER EVER give us energy security, by far the majority of the oil pumped out of the North sea is sold on the international market, just like Russian, Saudi, American oil, and just about any other country that produces Oil. As we buy Oil from the international market, the price is governed by the market, the amount of oil produced from the North Sea will NOT reduce the cost of products, including petrol, that use oil in their making. At best these new Licences will slow down the number of Job losses in the oil industry, they will not create 'new jobs', just the ones being lost as old oil fields become uneconomical.
The same people moaning about North Sea Oil will praise Norway for its EV policies, 100% financed by Oil. I drive an EV and like Norway’s policies but lets be honest here.
'Carbon capture' is totally unnecessary and the massive public investment in it even more unjustified. The annual interest on the continually growing national debt is now 45% the size of the annual NHS budget. We are broke. We need to start having annual surpluses, not deficits, to start paying off the debt. That means not wasting money on so many daft, unnecessary projects like this.
The very fact that we're talking about 'Solar' in this country is too bizarre for words. Yes we have a bit of wind now and again, average of all wind turbines is 16%.
This is very basic. Some think weare only replacing our electricity. We are replacing 4 times that in transport heating and hot water 5 times the existing elec will be needed and backup alone will cost 30 trillion ££££
33 years after a dire warning about the climate from the IPCC plus a final dire warning we are still debating what to do and burning more fossil fuels than ever. People enjoy the massive benefits that science has brought to the world and yet when science gives a dire warning about the future climate many people including Julia do not want to believe it? Being selective as to what science you relieve will not change the future if the future climate is proven to be beyond doubt.
We could, but you can't make steel, glass and plastics from electrical power. At the moment we have to use fossil fuels to reach the temperatures needed to smelt iron ore and silica, otherwise we are really going to end up in the stone age, no cars no airplanes no trains no hospitals no pensions no cutlery!!!

Friend of mines electric car 'died' on the outside (fast) lane of an A road, in a thunderstorm. Everything died: no lights, no HAZARD LIGHTS, nothing. AA arrived, had NO IDEA what to do, as did the police. After googling the situation, the AA guy suggested my friend closed the door to see what would happen. My friend refused as he thought he might not be able to get back in. The police asked him why he hadn't displayed his triangle - erm - the boot was locked.... ..

I am ecstatically happy that North Sea exploration will go ahead to secure our energy use going forward. I am sick of the renewable wind farms and solar being the answer to our need, they do not meet our or go anywhere need the power that is required. Wind turbines need oil lubricants to keep the working when the wind blows, solar is fine on a bright sunny day but they don’t work at night or in the dark days of winter. Nether or both together will make enough electricity it’s a huge lie and we will pay for it.
Just how stupid do you have to be to think that North Sea oil and gas is ours to use???? It does not belong to us ffs. It belongs to a bunch of foreign companies and will be sold on the open market. It provides us with NOTHING!
Your paying now no food or heat for the old really disgusting situation
If windfarms are cheaper, why do we have a green excess charge on our electricity bills?
What we do have is plenty of so called experts in the field but nothing much really changes.
When it comes to self sufficiency in oil and gas production, we have to ensure that the oil companies satisfy our needs first before shipping abroad. How about also an increase in refining capabilities?
electric cars are non-recyclable due to the amount of toxic materials they contain. the blades on wind power mills are non-recyclable.

I’m wondering where all this oil is coming from , I thought we should have run out of oil by now , we’ll that’s what was being spouted back in the 70’s and 80’s , I think the same people who where saying that have gone even crazier and are now say the world is going to end if we carry on using it

Plenty of oil, gas and coal reserves. China is looking to power their industries for the next 50 years using it. Their belt and road initiatives are funded partly in fuels.
I have only one word to say to you, "Fracking".
its funny that some of the oil wells in America that got shut down 5 years ago have filled back up now sounds like its renewable to me 🤣🤣
yeah they for some reason think that plants were around millions of years ago, then millions of years past, turns to oil, then for some mysterious reason there was no plants so the oil will run out

Of course, as the law currently stands UK HMG will not see a penny of tax on the receipts from any new fields, as Petroleum Revenue Tax ceased to apply to new UK Oil Fields since 1993 and the tax on existing fields was zero-rated in 2016.
Perhaps the tax situation needs to be re-considered, if only to protect the UK from the potential of ruthless price gouging and profiteering by the energy companies . . not that that's ever happened in the recent past.
The whole point of all this is to have self-sustaining energy and power for ones country then to go on from there. The UK does not need to do that much as it already has the infrastructure going forward for many many years to come. But with this fascination over green and renewables, I'm afraid we are just too early in our time to count on anything new at this current time. Because all current renewables have proven to be nothing but red herrings. Unless new unlimited energy suitors come forth, sadly it best to keep on going with what the the UK already has that's been working for decades. Net Zero is just an unwanted fallacy.

Any and All oil and gas, wherever it comes from, and no matter how much you extract it will never make the price cheaper.
All hydrocarbons are always sold at the current world prices.😊
Not really, the gas extracted from the north sea raises huge revenues that can be used to offset prices domestically. This is done in the US where domestic gas and oil prices are very low compared to the UK.
Ever heard of supply and demand. If more hydrocarbons hits the global market what do you think happens to prices ?

As an island, can we not have more tidal energy? They go in and out everyday!
You could actually store that energy (between high tides) which would be more useful for filling in energy gaps (peak loads).

powe deficit and Ukranian war inspired energy shortage ? What planning !
It will not have escaped Julia's attention that the receipts from UK oil fields first exploited since September 1993 are not subject to Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) and from 2016, PRT was zero-rated on oil fields which were first exploited before 1993.
Oh dear, perhaps PRT needs to be re-introduced for these new fields to prevent excess profiteering from the energy companies . . . . not that they'd make the most of a windfall at customers and HMG expense.
What about the 15+ million mature trees cut down each tree captuers around 48 lbs a year the trees were cut down to place Win Mills Yes that's true so much for the green energy.
This is often a very narrow discussion which is always also the big mistake of activists. We cannot only focus on electricity and heating as an issue with using oil and gas.
The products extracted from crude oil are the mainstays of modern life. Unless we want to step back over 70 years and have SOME substituted items made from coal, cast iron and glass,
People have so many products made from plastics, essentials such as spectacles, contact lenses and mobile phones, laptops, medical appliances, industrial gases, chemicals for pharmaceuticals, lubricants, paints, adhesives, laundry products, shoes, cosmetics, man made fabrics, engineering seals, sealants, varnishes, solvents, asphalt, insulation materials, window frames, house gutters, pesticides, epoxy for vehicles and industrial adhesives, wiring insulation, headphones, TV sets and flat screens.
Road fuels are basically a heavily taxed, yet small by-product of oil cracking, very low in the priority.
Until an activist has an alternative for ALL of those products, then we will always be using oil.
Yes, we talk about Nuclear for electricity but have still not solved the problem of what we do with nuclear waste, apart from kicking it down the generations as someone else's problem.
Oh dear lord…. You celebrate plastics and then complain about the challenge of dealing with nuclear waste. Do you you have the first clue how ridiculous you sound?
Storage of nuclear waste, has been reliably solved. But a better solution would be Thorium molten salt reactors.
Possibly the only good thing the Govt has done

The point is we need to massively increase wind, solar and nuclear as well as North Sea oil. At present, we have a confused and disastrous inaction policy. In addition, allowing massive corporations to run roughshod is not a solution either....
Who do you think owns the North Sea oil and gas petal?
I'm afraid that you fail to grasp the limitations of wind & solar. Increasing would not solve the issue..
As for electric cars and green energy. Anyone in National grid or the regional electricity companies will tell you that there is NO capacity to link more renewables and EV’s to the grid. The infrastructure is groaning under the weight NOW. Any further electrification is impossible without a complete revamp of the whole network at 100’s billions £. Not possible - if you started now it would take 40 yrs to get any substantial change.

If engineering evolved as quickly as tech, we wouldn't have an issue, but these are two completely different entities that do not correlate. Its like enacting a dream immediately after you've dreamt it. Engineering is dependent on the physical environment, it's not a push button operation...

Every single solar and wind farm in the UK lies about how many homes they can supply by 500%. They use the OFGEM average house that uses 80% gas and just supply the 20% electric!
They also use another trick. They quote the 'nameplate' or installed (as it's also known) capacity. That is under ideal conditions. Which occurs about 25% of the time.
@@rjones6219 Yes, the rule of thumb is to double the nameplate figure to get the power output. e,g.. 20 MW nameplate = 40 MWh output on average. Each 1 kw of nameplate produces 2 kwh of energy - an average through the year. When you do this to the nameplate figure and divide by the 20% electric house use you get the situated number of homes supplied.
Most of the production will be sold to the highest bidder, not for us plebs.
Good luck with carbon capture and storage, and although you are right about needing oil and gas to maintain our current economic structures, burning it all will exceed our carbon budget with predictable consequences. We cannot defy the laws of physics.

By all means drill for oil and gas, do not have a problem with that. What i have a problem with is the PM lying about why we are doing it, and media outlets like this one perpetuating those lies. North Sea Oil will NEVER EVER give us energy security, by far the majority of the oil pumped out of the North sea is sold on the international market, just like Russian, Saudi, American oil, and just about any other country that produces Oil. As we buy Oil from the international market, the price is governed by the market, the amount of oil produced from the North Sea will NOT reduce the cost of products, including petrol, that use oil in their making. At best these new Licences will slow down the number of Job losses in the oil industry, they will not create 'new jobs', just the ones being lost as old oil fields become uneconomical.
The same people moaning about North Sea Oil will praise Norway for its EV policies, 100% financed by Oil.
I drive an EV and like Norway’s policies but lets be honest here.
'Carbon capture' is totally unnecessary and the massive public investment in it even more unjustified. The annual interest on the continually growing national debt is now 45% the size of the annual NHS budget. We are broke. We need to start having annual surpluses, not deficits, to start paying off the debt. That means not wasting money on so many daft, unnecessary projects like this.
The very fact that we're talking about 'Solar' in this country is too bizarre for words.
Yes we have a bit of wind now and again, average of all wind turbines is 16%.
This is very basic. Some think weare only replacing our electricity. We are replacing 4 times that in transport heating and hot water 5 times the existing elec will be needed and backup alone will cost 30 trillion ££££
