MHK expects gas exploration and net zero to feature in 2026 campaign
An MHK says he expects energy security to be a major issue at next year's general election.
Douglas Central member Chris Thomas recently sought Tynwald approval to invite new applications to explore for gas off the Island's coast, but the motion was defeated.
The Manx parliament previously agreed not to issue any new licences for hydrocarbons, while a project by previous licence holder Crogga stalled.
Mr Thomas believes it's a topic that will come up on the doorstep ahead of September's vote:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
