What the petition asks
I propose the government invest heavily and immediately in renewable energies, so gas and electricity prices are independent, and energy is affordable.
Tax electricity providers who generated it using gas.
Investigate why we pay an exorbitant amount for cheap renewable energy.

Investigate why we pay an exorbitant amount for cheap renewable energy.
Energy prices are going up to ridiculous and unaffordable levels. The government has neglected this for a long time and has to rectify the situation immediately, to prevent people from going into fuel poverty.
It also doesn't make sense that consumers who are with cheap renewable energy companies are paying huge increases because the price of gas has gone up. The government should own part or all of the energy industry so we can invest in renewable energy effectively.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand you're concerned about funding for renewable energy generation, however the Government already provides financial incentives and other forms of funding for such technologies, so it's not clear what it is you'd like the Government to do differently e.g. to invest in the development of renewable energy technologies, or to increase financial incentives to energy companies to build and operate renewable energy generating facilities.
