Best for and against

Oct 2026

For

“The same as new oil sites in the North Sea, we should optimise, not prevent, our use of own natural resources rather than just keep importing.”

@Bearcage · 6 respect

Against

“There were problems when it was allowed previously. We aren't the size of the US, houses and protection for countryside and wildlife are more important. Stick to real renewables, not something that will yield little for the effort to get it.”
