Rejected petition Change government policy on oil and gas exploration in the UK

Allow the oil and gas companies to drill and frack in the North sea and on land , to secure the UK from fuel shortages in the future. And increase tax revenue to ease the burden on general taxation.

More details

Immediately removed Edward Miliband from secretary of state for energy. And issue licenses to drill and frack to help with fuel security and the working men and women with the taxation burden. Until renewables are improved enough to take over , UK was the 5th largest oil producer, until net zero. Billions of pounds have been lost since Teresa May's forcing the UK into this unsuccessful policy.
