Summary

Donald Trump criticized the U.K.'s renewable energy focus, calling to “open up” North Sea oil production and abandon wind turbines.

His comments followed reports of declining North Sea oil production and U.S. company Apache’s planned exit by 2029.

Oil firms have reduced investments due to higher taxes and declining resources, while the U.K. aims to decarbonize its energy sector by 2030, expanding offshore wind power.

However, the offshore wind industry faces financial challenges, including rising costs and reduced investments, prompting debates on balancing energy security and green transition goals.

    The cunt doesn’t want turbines purely because it “ruins” the view from his golf course at Balmedie (unsurprisingly, on the North Sea Coast), the utter self-centred closed-minded wankturtle.

    The US has far bigger problems on it’s plate, shit that’s going on across the pond in a country he’s got fuck all to do with should be lower on his list of things to worry about.

    O&G production is in massive decline in the UK. Norway ramps up production to sell to Europe.

    UK will just import more LNG from Qatar instead of drill more wells off the English coast and let its industry die. It’s the coal mines all over again.

    There’s plenty of country in America for him to fuck up over the next four years. We have enough problems in the UK, we don’t need him or musk to add to them.
