flag A UK thinktank urges more North Sea drilling and delayed decarbonization, but experts say it ignores cheaper renewables and rising bills.

flag A report by Tony Blair’s thinktank urges the UK to expand North Sea oil and gas drilling and delay its 2030 electricity decarbonization goal, citing AI data center demand and high gas prices. flag It argues renewables are too costly, but current market data shows onshore and solar wind are cheaper than new gas plants. flag The TBI favors nuclear and opposes ending the windfall tax, despite fossil fuel firms earning £125bn since 2020. flag Critics say the report overlooks falling clean energy costs and risks increasing household bills. flag The government maintains that transitioning to homegrown renewables reduces long-term costs and energy dependence, citing recent offshore wind contracts at £60.25/MWh.
