Nearly £50K per household - the hidden oil and gas bill
Let's be honest about something. Fossil fuels were extraordinary. Coal powered the Industrial Revolution. Oil and gas fuelled every subsequent leap - mass manufacturing, modern agriculture, global logistics, the internet age itself. For 150 years, cheap, dense, portable energy was the engine of human progress, and the world owes an enormous debt to what fossil fuels made possible. But there's an invoice, a large one… I’m not talking climate, that’s for another day, I’m talking pounds, shillings & pence - and in the current debate about whether Britain should be drilling more in the North Sea, it's conspicuously absent from the conversation.
