Harvest £2.5 trillion UK Onshore Gas with no-frack technology & cut CO2 emission

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Drill onshore and recover £2.5 trillion of gas using no-frack technology Fit UK electricity producing gas and oil fired power stations with carbon capture flue gas devices and drill under the power station and sequestrate all flue gas scavenged carbon directly into the drilled hole

This immediately allows the UK to produce electricity using hydrocarbons but without any CO2 emissions, which then becomes 100% carbon negative. The UK would not need to rely on inconsistent and expensive wind and solar, or need to import LPG from the US and other countries thereby reducing CO2 emissions and preventing huge funds leaving the UK to pay often unfriendly regimes. New employment opportunities will occur and new investments will grow often in poorer areas of the UK

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

The UK Government is responsible for regulating exploration and extraction of oil and gas fields, but isn't directly responsible for extracting oil and gas. We could accept a petition calling on the Government to change how exploration and extraction of oil and gas fields is regulated, if you want it to be made easier for certain technologies to be used for this purpose.
