Original: UK risks being 'uninvestable' if new oil and gas fields not approved, warns oil giant https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/article

The claim puts pressure on ministers over North Sea licensing policy and the pace of the energy transition, and has drawn attention to the balance between energy security and climate commitments. Critics are likely to challenge the argument as self-interested from an industry facing windfall taxes and declining investment.
