This massive find could reshape Britain’s energy strategy, but it comes just as the UK debates a ban on new exploration licences. In this episode, host Alex Wolfe unpacks how this discovery challenges Energy Secretary Ed Miliband’s energy policy, what it means for the UK’s oil and gas future and whether this could reignite the debate over Britain’s homegrown energy versus international imports.View the NSTA report here: https://www.nstauthority.co.uk/media/hgnp1k2x/reserves-and-resources-report-2024.pdf_____________________________________________________________Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/residenceLicense code: JI1XYNLQRBRLWN12#WolfePowerClub #EnergyPodcast #NorthSea #OilAndGas #EnergyPolicy #UKEnergy #EnergyNews #EdMiliband #EnergySecuritySeason Two is in Partnership with The SpectatorTickets for the upcoming The Spectator Energy Summit, on Monday 30th November 2026, are available on sale.
