Background
The UK spends billions protecting overseas oil lines, leaving our economy vulnerable to global conflict. We must redirect this ‘security’ spending into homegrown renewables to:
Lower Bills: Ending reliance on expensive, volatile imports.
Boost Security: Removing the tactical need for energy-driven conflict.
Create Jobs: Fueling a green industrial revolution in our own communities.
True security is built at home, not in foreign oil fields.
