Fosil fuels are and remain a critical part of the uk mix of energy provision.
The government must prioritise production of uk fosil fuels where they currently buy from abroad. They must focus on the economics from maintaining the uk oil and gas production economy to the benefit of the british tax payer.

Background
The war in Ukraine and the middle east seriousy jepordise the supply of oil and gas globally. It is not possible for the uk to transition quickly and therefore it is critical the oil and gas are maintained and produced. UK production should be sold domestically at a discount. Without this there is a strong possibility that the uk will be either left short or over charged due to global economics
