Marea Britanie a aprobat exploatarea unui zăcământ de gaze din Marea Nordului, în ciuda opoziției activiștilor de mediu

The UK government has approved the Jackdaw gas field exploitation in the North Sea, aiming to reduce energy costs amid rising prices. Energy Minister Miatta Fahnbulleh stated that gas supply will start by the end of the month, potentially increasing domestic gas production by 6%. Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces pressure to lower energy bills while balancing fossil fuel usage concerns. The government also announced a £2 billion fund for energy transition, emphasizing its commitment to climate change despite the new gas project. The Green Party criticized the decision as "climate vandalism."
