Petition Action

Reopen viable coal mines & north sea gas & oil fields

Petition Details

I want the government to open viable gas & oil fields in the north sea & also coalmines that were closed back in the 80s/90s that still have more than 20yrs worth of coal in them

Additional Information

I believe Great britain is too reliant on other countrys that drill for oil & gas, all the while we have 3 once thriving industries that are sat idle, which surely would help the british economy massively
