Make energy use more sustainable by making unsustainable energy more expensive.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

If we change the prices on different types of energy, we could help people make a different choice. Make sustainable energy more mass-produced by making it cheaper, and making unsustainable energy more expensive.

I want the Government to do it because energy pollution is a big problem and this could be a good way to solve it. If the Government do it it could be a big advantage to the country.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about sustainability of energy, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Decisions about the cost of energy are a matter for generators and Ofgem, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase taxes on generators of non-renewable energy, to make renewable energy comparatively cheaper, if that's something you'd like to happen.
