The talk is that speculators were pushing the price up and have now taken profits and manipulated the price back down. Fuel prices in the US are collapsing too.

Genie Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 Boris also mentioned in his speech earlier that it was the fault of previous governments for not installing new power stations like the one he visited today. If the Tories had done it when they got into power they’d be open now. Prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The govt could have just spent the £20b 20 years ago and made that money back by now! If I learnt anything from watching the news yesterday then a £20b spend would have saved £10b in energy costs every year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I still can’t believe the government aren’t fixing the cap. The fallout of that is far, far less than whatever dogs dinner of crap they will come up with. Fix the cap Pro: affordable vast majority of people and financial help for millions of people isn’t required. Con: Suppliers will be selling at a loss and need government assistance. It will be much easier to focus attention on a dozen businesses than 50 million people dropping dead or going bankrupt all over the place. Fund the financial assistance for suppliers either partly, or fully via windfall tax. Edited September 2, 2022 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've known various old people's homes owners for various reasons and they are all absolutely raking it in whilst also constantly moaning that they don't get paid enough to make the business sustainable. Meanwhile all the staff are on minimum wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's backfired spectacularly as prices are likely to rise higher now as supply dries up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
