00:00I think it's good and I know there's different debates about and he's got to stick to Labour's
00:04manifesto of no new licences but we do need to drill because you see what's going on around
00:09that prices are so high you need to we need to dig in the north forward to get prices down
00:14for
00:15normal working people. My message is not to start new contracts and be drilling aggressively but if
00:20there's any ongoing contrast or something at least it's fair and wise to continue till that contract
00:26finishes and then we don't drill maybe drill again just focus on the wind and natural sources. Gas and
00:33electric is huge it costs more than my mortgage it's more as much as my monthly food bill and I
00:40think yeah drilling is not ideal but then what you know what are we going to do it's like you
00:46know
00:46we can go green have solar panels whatever I think personally making solar kind of government funded
00:52again where you could maybe have turbines at home provide your own electricity I don't know that
00:58it will happen but yeah I just think by now you know if they've got to drill and that's what
01:03they've
01:04got to do then you know as a homeowner and having a family then if it gets cost down that
01:11will help me
01:11out massively. I think everyone deserves to have access to good energy prices so I hope that that will
01:19contribute to those prices decreasing but of course being mindful of you know the environment and the
01:27impact that it might have on future generations as well.
