Donald Trump criticized the UK for not increasing oil extraction in the North Sea, calling it 'crazy' while the British government has halted new exploration licenses. Despite existing drilling projects, the UK has already extracted most of its oil reserves. The war on Iran has intensified calls for more drilling, but analyses suggest new fields would not significantly reduce gas imports or energy costs. Meanwhile, renewables are gaining traction, providing over 52% of the UK's electricity, with potential savings for households.
