I could do TV adverts showing me seductively moving arounnd my house turning lights and and walking away. Leaning against my wall and turning my stat up whilst looking sexy into the camera.

I was talking about the energy security of Europe as a whole.

But I am happy to discuss your UK specific points.

As regards gas, do you accept the industry view that if we relied on our own production for all our gas needs then we would run out in three years time.

Oil is trickier. Part of the issue is like the USA in reverse. They can't refine their own sweet, light crude. We can't currently refine the sour, heavy crude which now makes up most of the North Sea production. I agree that we could spend billions adapting our refineries with cokers. But even then, we can only produce 60% of our oil needs and that is declining all the time.

like many of these things, as gas prices rise, more of ours becomes viable (we have way more than 3 years)
60% is a lot better than 0%
lets keep our foot in the game whilst moving as rapidly as we can to renewables

So, how come Norway are continuing to make new discoveries, drill new wells and increase reserves?

It's the same North Sea we're talking about isn't it?
