The Penny has dropped with our Green Brethren .
Low Oil prices mean people will retain current Tech .
High Oil prices will force people into Electric everything and or Hybrid .
So High Oil/Gas pricing for next 5 years very possible and Climate pressure on any new Discoveries , focussed only in the West .
The Mugs in the West will become reliant again on the Middle East, Russia ect , unless places like the Falklands , Shetlands and remaining NS are fully developed to keep us energy Independent .
Nuclear the cheapest and cleanest back up , needs to be developed by UK with homegrown Talent, we will then have the portfolio of energy required to be Green and Independent by 2050
The UK will also have the Financial position and Talent to export our Energy Developments Globally so a win win .
Very interesting article last week stating 72% of worlds carbon emissions come from only 10 coal fired power stations . This is where COP 21 should place its Focus as a beginning .
