History is repeating itself. Here’s another fossil fuel energy crisis…

…and we still have an energy market where the price of the green energy we make here in Britain is tied to the global price for gas.

Successive governments have been called upon to break this absurd link, to no avail.

We have the means to nail our energy bills to the floor and keep them there, and reap MASSIVE economic benefits to doing so, through lower inflation and lending rates.

The current free for all in wholesale energy creates windfall profits for oil companies at great expense to the rest of us and the country we live in.

Does the UK have any oil deposits?

Yes, the UK has proven oil reserves estimated at 1.5 billion barrels, primarily located in the North Sea. However, production has been declining, and the country is increasingly reliant on oil imports.

@MisterBander our own oil and gas costs our people the same as that which we import
@Uhohuhoh So may as well conserve it for future generations. I wish Canada would do this instead of destroying the country trying to sell it to everyone else.

@MisterBander conserve it by going green and using less ?
@Uhohuhoh If it costs too much to extract, leave it where it is, some day it will be worth more than gold.
