Ukraine War: Where will the UK get its energy from now?

Boris Johnson has defended his trip to the Gulf for talks with Saudi Arabia about finding alternative oil supplies for the UK - despite concerns over human rights abuses there.

The Prime Minister warned that Western nations should not be hooked on Russian oil and gas.

Borris gives out enough hot air and gas he could power us all😂😂😂

[Jack-sqfb]

It’s took a war for uk to make themselves independent from Russian oil. Wtf.

[avarmauk]

So much for this being a catalyst for climate change…

[Killa_Harkan]

Go beg the democratic, and freedom supporting government of UAE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[qoranehire]

Bojo Mojo has invited us party can we?!?!?!

[ne]

8% and 4% doesn’t sound much tbh. Unlike Germany

[strikeeaglemodels]

So if we are still getting gas and oil from Russia why has petrol prices gone up?

[arongatt]

Saudi Arabia ?, going to a humanitarian country are we 🤦🏽‍♂️

[commewijnepineribo]

Hard time is coming to Britain, good luck customers

[TenFalconsMusic]

If I keep eating bean burritos... Britain could get it's energy from my arse.

[cordellmohawk]

Uk can get their energy from These NUTS Lol

[mdwaliullah]

Have to invade another oil reached country

[jamesgoodwin]

Try filling all the empty fields with hemp and use hemp oil instead. All natural products clean fuel and loads of clean oxygen. Win win win for the human race and Britain 🇬🇧

We have our own Shale Gas reserves.
We have North Sea Gas reserves.
We have Irish Sea Gas reserves.
We have North Sea Oil.
We are an Island in the North East Atlantic with excellent natural tidal energy resources.
We are an Island in the North East Atlantic with excellent natural Solar & Wind energy.

WHY ON EARTH ARE WE AN IMPORTER OF ENERGY?

[mikelattimer]

If they where smart they would buy it from the Ukraine, they have the largest untapped reserves in the world.

[lukewootton]

We get hardly any of our energy from Russia as it is this is just the news trying to be relevant

[colinmacdonald]

We didn't get 45% of our energy from renewables, we got 45% of our electricity, which itself is only a third of our energy, therefore we got 15% of our eneegy from renewables.

[a.disaster]

Can we trust the media to always tell the truth? Who does media serve, the people or is it just a tool for our leaders?

[AlienwareXable]

No human rights issues when its in their interest

[georgeyboyhowe]
