If it’s your job then you know the gas supplies aren’t limited because we aren’t extracting enough gas. The limited because they’ve been sold to other markets hence my original comment of more gas extraction will not necessarily equal more gas for the UK and therefore lower prices.
Additionally it would take 5 to 6 years minimum to build out a drilling operation so it’s hardly a solution for today or even 2029. Wouldn’t the more sensible option be to build out more renewables such as solar which can be stood up in a lot less time than half a decade?

God forbid that a government would actually plan for the future.
