LONDON, Sept. 27 (UPI) — British regulators on Wednesday approved a new $9.85 billion project to develop a major 500 million barrel oil and gas field in the North Sea by the Norwegian state-owned energy giant Equinor and Britain’s Ithaca Energy….
“We are investing in our world-leading renewable energy but, as the independent Climate Change Committee recognizes, we will need oil and gas as part of that mix on the path to net zero and so it makes sense to use our own supplies from North Sea fields such as Rosebank,” said Energy Security Secretary Claire Coutinho.
Coutinho added that the deal would strengthen Britain’s economy and make it “more secure against tyrants” like Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We will continue to back the U.K.’s oil and gas industry to underpin our energy security, grow our economy and help us deliver the transition to cheaper, cleaner energy,” said Coutinho.

PIECE OF PIE
I am the point
on a piece
of pie.
How big the piece
each day depends–
Depends, that’s a
good word.
Me and my toenail
Doc make quite
a pair.
Every three months
I see him there:
That’s a big piece.
I eat you up,
devour and poop
What fun, if I
still give a hoot.
The day is long–
The night is too;
I wrote all this
Just for you.
Don’t grieve for me.
I’m still alive.
That’s the point,
That’s the jive,
And I’m glad.
