EDF chief calls new UK oil and gas projects a 'no-brainer'
Original: New UK gas and oil projects are a ‘no-brainer’, says EDF boss https://www. theguardian.com/business/2026/ sep/30/uk-gas-
The head of EDF's UK business has described new gas and oil projects in the United Kingdom as a 'no-brainer', arguing the case for further fossil fuel extraction. The remarks, reported by the Guardian, are likely to fuel debate over the Labour government's energy strategy, its climate commitments, and figures such as Andy Burnham who have pushed for a more interventionist industrial policy.
Why now: The comments land amid ongoing political debate over whether Britain should approve new fossil fuel projects while pursuing net zero targets.
