| "Here is why new oil extraction won’t lower household bills: 1. 80% of the oil extracted in the North Sea is exported It’s not the case that the oil extracted in the North Sea goes straight into powering the UK’s energy system. The licences to drill for oil in the North Sea, as well as the equipment and platforms etc required to actually extract the oil, belong to the companies doing the extraction. The likes of Shell and BP are under no obligation to sell this oil to the country it was extracted in. In fact, it is usually more profitable for them to export it and sell for the best price on the open market." So would taking advantage of solar energy for which daylight is needed. Old EV car batteries are used for storage. |
