With Aberdeen already feeling the economic strain of the energy transition, MPs like Bill Esterson stress that oil and gas will remain part of the UK’s energy mix for decades, and that domestic gas from these projects could offer a cleaner, cheaper alternative to imported LNG. A smart tax tweak could unlock billions in investment, jobs, and revenue without subsidies, while unions warn against a sudden, damaging shift. The debate is no longer just about energy—it’s about protecting livelihoods while steering toward a sustainable future.
