This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Goverment Should ban none essential use of fossil fuels before essential use.
The Government should ban the construction of Super Yachts, Motor Yachts, Private Planes and Jets etc. before banning manufacture fossil fueled cars and gas fired boilers.
More details
Feel it's only fair to ban none essential use of fossil fuels before essential use of fossil fuels. Especially considering the amounts of fuel super yachts and private jets use often tax free or a lower tax rate.
The Government must not be seen to allow none essential luxury transport and hobbies to continue while forcing people to not use fossil fuels to heat homes or drive to work.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you would like the Government to prioritise banning certain items that use fossil fuels before others, but we're not sure whether you're calling on the Government to revoke the plan to ban new petrol cars and gas boilers, and ban constructions like super yachts, or something else.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
You would need to be clear exactly what items you wanted to be banned, as there is no commonly accepted definition of which items that use fossil fuels are essential, and which are not.
We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
