U.S. President Donald Trump has given Britain a friendly advice showing that the country's astronomical energy bill could be lowered if the government increases a cost-effective oil supply instead of trying to block new extractions. [emphasis, links added]
UK consumers and businesses pay some of the world’s highest energy prices, but it doesn’t have to be if the country abandons its renewable energy dash and stops stopping new oil drilling.
Trump said he praised the U.S.-UK trade deal that was minted earlier this month:
“However, I strongly recommend that they lower their energy costs, they stop expensive and incredible windmills and inspire modern drilling in the North Sea.”
The president said in a statement that “there is a lot of oil…waiting for adoption” and noted that Britain’s “old tax system is unwilling to drill”.
Unlocking new energy will make energy prices in the UK “[way down]fast,” he said.
The UK government has debated on energy, namely, there is a clear choice between imports of foreign extracted fossil fuels traded in volatile markets, or a decarbonized sunshine highland.
Naturally, things are not so neat in reality: as President Trump has observed The British territory is rich in energy, and China's dominance in the solar panel market does not make people think that the green transition is without fickle foreign intervention.
The United States has transformed from an energy importer to an energy exporter [recently] By exploiting shale gas.
Britain also has these resources under its national territory, but is so ideologically opposed to running its energy grid on gas that it has recently filled a handful of test wells sunk by cement.
