Reverse fracking moratorium and provide support for natural gas extraction

Closed 80 signatures

What the petition asks

We the undersigned petition the UK Government to:

- Remove the 2019 moratorium on fracking
- Identify suitable sites for fracking
- Provide support for natural gas extraction, for supply to the UK market
Natural Gas prices fluctuate around the world based on supply and demand. Gas costs could be significantly cheaper in the UK if it was produced in greater volume here (as in the USA).

We now need to seize the benefits of home grown gas to reduce the financial burden on our citizens.
