We believe issuing any new licences puts at risk the UK's climate commitments when we should be transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

We care more about having a future to live in than any short-term monetary gains that come at the expense of the environment.

One campaign group has said that one 1.3 gigawatt windfarm would generate more than enough electricity to offset the gas that would be lost if no new licences are awarded.
