Sunak backs new UK oil and gas exploration FMTNews FMTWorld
Britain’s prime minister Rishi Sunak pledged to be ‘pragmatic’ about achieving net zero emissions.
In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, Sunak sought to distinguish between his ruling Conservatives and its main rival Labour over such issues, as he eyes a general election due next year.“I think it makes absolutely no sense, as the Labour Party is suggesting, to ban North Sea oil and gas,” Sunak told the Tory-supporting newspaper, referring to waters off Britain’s east coast.
Sunak, who became leader last October, said his approach was “to support the UK’s energy industry” and appeared to suggest that not exploiting new UK oil and gas reserves risked “the lights going out” in Britain. Meanwhile, several mainstream pressure groups claiming to represent tens of millions of Britons wrote to Sunak promising to mobilise if net zero policies are watered down.
