There's a reason that electricity costs twice as much in Britain as in the USA, says Dr. John Fernley. It's because of brainless plans like Ed Miliband's to power us with a sun that doesn't shine when we need it most.
Labour's energy policy just doesn't stack up, says David Turver. Better for Keir Starmer to take his Great British Energy plans, and its logo, to a darkened room with a bottle of whisky and a revolver.
Keir Starmer's GB Energy Plan is as flawed as the renewable energy it peddles, says David Craig.
Millions of households with smart meters face paying more for their electricity at the busiest times of day under regulator plans to help meet the demand of Net Zero.
Energy bills are set to soar as almost all major studies on Net Zero contain serious modelling errors that grossly underestimate the cost, a new report from Net Zero Watch reveals.
Households will pay a £170-a-year Net Zero levy on energy bills in the coming days, with Rishi Sunak accused of "slyly" shifting costs back to consumers as the 'two-year' suspension of green levies ends after nine months.
The Government is carrying out a review of net zero to see if the policy is placing “undue burdens on businesses or consumers”. The answer is an emphatic ‘yes’, according to Telegraph Money.
The Government could slash energy bills by £800 and more if only it stopped sending loads of our electricity to Europe and made us an island grid. This would allow us to properly address energy shortages and prices.
A senior Government source has told the Telegraph that one fracking company reckons it could get some energy into the market by next winter if it’s allowed to get cracking straight away.
Thanks to the omni-crisis in the energy sector, the price cap will rise to £6,522 by next April, according to Auxilione. That’s up from the £5,3000 predicted yesterday by Cornwall Insight. Time to lift the ban on Fracking?
