Energy prices are one of the fundamentals for the competitiveness of a country industries and the comfort of their citizens, especially the heavy industries that are energy intensive (like steel, cement and glass) and old age pensioners who are more vulnerable to cold weather. Again we are let down by our politicians with their 30p/kwh subsidized next to useless windmills and solar panels.
Instead of cheap safe nuclear power.
We had 13 years of Labour pontificating on new nuclear power stations, until decisions could not be put off any longer without the lights going out, so they reluctantly agreed, in IMHO, much to late to stop a UK electric energy crisis from 2017-2023 to building a new generation. At one time we were one of the world's leaders in Nuclear power, guess who is now with the development of 5th generation of ultra safe reactors, with 1000's of years of fuels reserves, China with their liquid Thorium reactor program. Just shows how far we have slipped in the worlds order in last 60 years.
Still, I guess our MP's have much higher priorities, why tax the brain of building new nuclear power stations where there are more pressing things like build floating duck houses and flipping their house subsidiary for maximum profit.
Any time they have left over they can spend on important things like having a non-gender category on passports as this is much more important than taxing the brain on keeping industries going and pensioners warm or even CO tax trading programs to make our heavy industry even more un-competitive.
Still MP's have an outstanding record of understanding and support for our world class hi-tech projects which is why they cancelled the Blue Streak rocket system, TSR2 and the Supersonic Harrier. Makes me proud to be represented by such a bunch of useless charlatans.
