What the petition asks
I want the government to open viable gas & oil fields in the north sea & also coalmines that were closed back in the 80s/90s that still have more than 20yrs worth of coal in them
I believe Great britain is too reliant on other countrys that drill for oil & gas, all the while we have 3 once thriving industries that are sat idle, which surely would help the british economy massively
