Additional Information

So that the UK can be self sufficient in energy needs . Its folly to rely on being supplied from abroad when we have lots of the stuff under our own control

World politics - Middle East Wars, Trump Tariffs, Russian aggression - let alone the carbon costs of importation - too much of a gamble .
