You do realise that if it ever came to it and a foreign owned company in the UK tried to shut own something like energy production (which I agree with Smidgey - would never happen, it's not compatible with the profit motive), that we could just nationalise the necessary infrastructure and start producing energy again?
Not likely when we have less than a week of gas reserves.
Besides selling our share in BP and Britoil has already cost us billions.
