英国政府周二宣布，鉴于美伊战争引发的能源动荡，英国将加倍坚守净零排放目标，尽管特朗普总统坚持要求英国开采北海石油。
“我们正面临不到5年内的第二次化石燃料危机，对我国而言教训显而易见，”英国能源大臣埃德·米利班德说道，他所指的是2022年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以及美欧对伊朗持续发动军事行动引发的能源价格飙升。“化石燃料安全的时代已经结束，清洁能源安全的时代必须成熟起来。”
英国首相基尔·斯塔默在一份阐述英国政府一系列新政策的声明中表示，要“切断波动剧烈的全球天然气价格与英国民众电价之间的联系”，他说：“我们必须摆脱化石燃料的过山车式波动。”
伊朗战争爆发以来，英国能源价格暴涨，右翼反对党呼吁废除2025年颁布的北海油气钻井禁令。
特朗普公开支持这一主张，上周二在Truth社交平台上发帖称，英国应该“开采吧，宝贝，开采吧！！！他们居然不这么做，简直疯了。”
“欧洲极度渴望能源，而英国却拒绝开发北海油田——这是全球最优质的油田之一。太可悲了！！”
“还有，别再建风力涡轮机了！”他补充道，这是针对他长期反对的风电项目。

根据非营利组织能源与气候情报单位的数据，北海是一个“成熟盆地”，其大部分自然资源已被开采殆尽——约占90%。
分析人士指出，即便重启钻井生产，石油也不会立即上市，因为寻找油田、新建油田并启动生产需要数年时间。
由于有消息称霍尔木兹海峡即将重新开放，油价周五出现下跌，但这些希望在周末破灭。随着美伊之间的停火协议即将到期，市场不确定性持续存在。
Iran war shows “era of fossil fuel security is over,” says U.K. official, defying Trump calls for North Sea drilling

Britain is doubling down on its commitment to net-zero emissions targets in light of energy volatility caused by the U.S.-Iran war, the government announced Tuesday, in spite of President Trump’s insistence that they should drill for North Sea oil.
“As we face the second fossil fuel shock in less than 5 years, the lesson for our country is clear,” said U.K. energy secretary Ed Miliband, referring to energy price spikes resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the ongoing U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran. “The era of fossil fuel security is over, and the era of clean energy security must come of age.”
In a statement explaining the British government’s raft of new policies to “break the link” between volatile global gas prices and the price of electricity for Brits, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, “We need to get off the fossil fuel rollercoaster.”
U.K. energy prices have skyrocketed since the war on Iran began, prompting calls from opposition parties on the right to reverse a 2025 ban on drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea.
Mr. Trump has thrown his weight behind that argument, posting on Truth Social last Tuesday that the U.K. should “DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! It is absolutely crazy that they don’t.”
“Europe is desperate for Energy, and yet the United Kingdom refuses to open North Sea Oil, one of the greatest fields in the World. Tragic!!”
“AND, NO MORE WINDMILLS!” he added, a reference to wind turbines, which he has long opposed.

The North Sea is a “mature basin,” which means much of its natural resources have already been extracted – around 90%, according to the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit, a nonprofit.
Analysts say that if production were to begin again, the oil would not immediately materialize, as it takes years to find the oil, build a new oil field and start production.
Oil prices dropped Friday as rumors spread that the Strait of Hormuz was to be reopened, but those hopes were dashed over the weekend. Market uncertainty continues with the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran due to soon expire.
