Closed Hold a referendum on achieving net zero goals.

Closed on

British people are paying one of the highest prices in the world for electricity. I think that installing solar energy is destroying the British countryside, losing us productive farmland and damaging our once green and pleasant land.

Where is our say in the matter? It is only fair that we, the British people, have a say on how we progress towards a greener future. That is why this petition calls for a referendum on achieving Net Zero targets. Let the people decide the path towards a sustainable future, one which we think is the best way for our taxes being spent and the countryside to be protected.

Stand with us. Demand a say in our own future. Sign this petition for a referendum on our net zero goals.
