Poll results: UK energy and the Ukraine crisis

In last week's poll, we asked where you think efforts should be focussed to ensure security of the UK’s energy landscape in light of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis.

Concerns are growing in the UK following Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine with the UK’s energy landscape becoming a key talking point with worries regarding energy security and costs echoing around the sector.

Contrary to The Engineer's poll results, PM Boris Johnson indicated yesterday (March 7) that the UK may have to consider 'using more of our own hydrocarbons' in a step-by-step move away from Russian energy sources.

Indeed, the UK government has expressed confidence in the security of our gas supply, stating that the UK is ‘in no way dependent’ on Russian gas. The UK’s dependency is significantly lower than many European countries, with imports from Russia making up less than five per cent of total UK gas supply last year.
