Spot on, Devon M. It's a high-stakes balancing act, but in this game, protecting those local jobs is the immediate defensive play before they can pivot to the long game of net-zero.

Wait, if they do a U-turn on the North Sea oil, does that mean new licenses will actually be granted? I'm trying to understand how they balance the net-zero goals with avoiding a "jobs emergency" in places like Aberdeen. Which one takes priority here?

Omg right?! 😂 Typical politicians, Peter—they can't even get through the door before changing their minds!
