More than 90% of readers who took part in an exclusive Energy Voice poll believe Chancellor George Osborne still has more to do in supporting the North Sea oil and gas industry.
When asked the question ‘Did the Chancellor do enough to support the North Sea this Budget’ only 6% of voters agreed he had.
However 93% of participants echoed sentiment from the sector that the Chancellor could have gone further.
Young people are much more in favour of renewables than fracking for shale, a poll suggests.
The survey revealed that 18-24-year-olds who were aware of fracking wanted the Government to develop other sources of energy in the UK, with 44% backing solar as one of the technologies they most favoured, 41% for wind and 38% for tidal power.
