That's the question that we really need to address. <br /><br />Certainly the price of gas has remained stable in the wholesale market for the last two years according to Ovo Energy so it cannot be the need to extract more gas that is driving up Electricity prices as well.<br />Mat B (Thanet Star)http://thanetstar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196642437552790719.post-14258274576878440562013-10-24T10:47:26.555+01:002013-10-24T10:47:26.555+01:00Anon 8:08 has a valid point for, in a capitalist d...Anon 8:08 has a valid point for, in a capitalist democracy coupled with an ecological demand for greener energy, prices are increasingly hard to control. On the one hand governments cannot dictate to companies how much they charge for their products and, on the other, green taxes introduced by governments have accelerate price increases.<br /><br />It is known that renewal energy sources are expensive, hence the green taxes, yet the green lobby backed by EU regulation want to do away with fossil fuel fired sources. Elsewhere one reads that the sale of wood burners are on the increase and the enterprising have spotted chimney sweeping as a growing business again. In other words, people are turning to wood to reduce their fuel bills, but increasing greenhouse gases in the process.<br /><br />Are there easy answers? I think not and it is not sufficient to demand cheaper fuel. One has to be able to find and produce it. As that seems unlikely the only short term answer would appear to be to increase fuel subsidies to the less well off in our society.<br /><br />Meantime in China, a communist totalitarian system, they are building new coal fired, greenhouse gas emitting power stations daily thus negating all our good efforts by covering our countryside and coastal waters with ugly and inefficient wind turbines.
