Background
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
Renewables are important - and will take over in time - but meantime_
World politics - Middle East Wars, Trump Tariffs, Russian aggression - let alone the carbon costs of importation - too much of a gamble .
You may remember the 3 day week , power cuts and lay offs ,
Petrol Rationing
Let the electorate decide
