For these reasons, and with the world in desperate need for safe and near NetZero energy sources whilst alternatives are in reality still a long way off, and with Putin exposing the risk of global sourcing energy policies, our time, in respect of a NetZero-Now capability may have come. This is particularly the case for natural gas, where recently the UK and European energy policies have pivoted back to exploration and production closer to home, whilst at the same time our partners have strengthened our reach into international markets.
"In the case of the UK, such fast moving developments are clearly evidenced by the Prime Minister's recent pronouncements in relation to energy security and the need to make Britain energy independent by 2040. Such a pledge to strengthen domestic power supplies after decades of short-term thinking, and the focus on homegrown fossil fuel extraction was bolstered by the Government indicating that it is poised to make available more than 100 new oil and gas permits in the North Sea, the first licencing round of its kind since 2020. This, I believe, bodes well for the future of Plexus, particularly if we can convince our industry and the regulators that in the field of critical wellhead technology home-grown leak-proof solutions are available, and which are based on prevention rather than cure
