The British government’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer is in a conundrum. It came to power promising to guide a clean energy growth that it claimed may revive a sluggish economy and shield consumers from rising energy prices that were causing prices. It also appears cautious about stoking the oil and gas industry in the North Sea, which provides an estimated 120, 000 work in the mostly well-paying sector of the economy and supplies the majority of the natural oil needed to keep British businesses and homes booming. ” While we make that change, the oil and gas industry may play an important role in the economy for years to come”, Britain’s electricity minister, Michael Shanks, said this month. There is already concern about the sharp decline in energy expenditure among power companies, and what some perceive as indifference from the new Labour-led coalition’s leadership toward the possible consequences. Britain has “been a president in offshore advancement”, said Gregor Scott, managing director of Ocean Installer, which does under work. The state will have to strike a delicate balance between pursuing its clean energy agenda and supporting an economy that the nation still depends on for energy and work in the coming months.
