Huge news. This gas field is enormous, 10 years ago it was a licence to make billions. Now our 2nd biggest energy company is pulling out without even starting it. Just as other companies sold coal-powered power stations even under the previous government. They're using the money for renewables instead, because they're so much cheaper and faster to build and run. Fossil fuel business is terminal. I wouldn't even buy a petrol or diesel car now if I ever hoped to get a cent on a trade-in when it gets older. Nobody will want them, except a tiny handful of collectors. I think it will be that fast, only a handful of years. Demand for electric cars is enormous, they can't keep up the supply.
