You might have to cut down your TV use 😉What is the energy price cap and how it could affect my bills?
Regulator Ofgem has raised the energy cap, affecting bills from Octoberwww.telegraph.co.uk
Our bill has gone up by £200 a month!
I rarely watch TV to be honest. I watch it in the evening for about a hour and then go to sleep.You might have to cut down your TV use 😉
Yep, and it’s just going to get worse.Seriously, energy pricing was looking very bleak - even before Putin started his outrageous tricks.
Particularly bad for the poorest, many of whom pay even more due to being on prepay metering.
The French have lessened their billshock with a windfall tax on the energy firms.You can partially thank.our Green friends for that.
Wind and alternative energy sources are nowhere near providing our current requirements.and they forced the governments hand when it came to issuing new prospecting licences for the UK sector of the North Sea so we cannot go looking for new, much needed gas supplies. We are, therefore going to have to rely totally on the world market for these things rather than having a plentiful supply of our own.
They should have seen this coming years ago, I did because I work in that business, however attempting to go too Green too soon and this is what happens.
Break out the candles and solid fuel stoves I say.....
indeed, these levies are irrelevant.The French have lessened their billshock with a windfall tax on the energy firms.
Our lot have said why they think that's a bad idea - but the least they could have done was to remove VAT. I'd like them to have cancelled the green levies that add significantly to our bills.
You are living in cloud cuckoo land my friend.Incentives are used to get new projects off the ground, however renewables (And how to make them) have been sorted for some time, so the incentives are no longer needed and could be removed or seriously reduced. (Incentives for electric cars have dropped significantly as manufactures have ramped up new models (I would imagine they will totally disappear in a year or so) which is as it should be)
As to fossil fuels, then they are going to run out eventually, and the longer you leave it to design replacements the more expensive it will get. (Currently they just need to sort out the storage problems as there is plenty of renewable energy about (If you look at a lot of wind turbines they are not moving as their power is not required at certain times of the day, so if you could leave them running and just store the unwanted energy for later, you would have plenty in reserve for when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine)

Hope You can handle your next has bill....
Can you clarify, I don't understand your comments.Why? Get rid of the now unneeded incentives and the bills will drop.

If I read you right there should not be any levies anywhere as companies have to stand on their own feet. If they cannot compete in the real world then there is no way they should be funded by others get exist.As I said in my first post the Incentive (Levies) for renewables are no longer required like they were as they have got most things sorted (It’s just the storage design needed to complete the chain) and no longer need the help to get going, this would automatically lower the bills as you would be paying significantly less for the (So called) green agenda.

most people involved in that industry. Unfortunately it wasn't allowed to continue and could only have provided electricity anyway. The world cannot revolve on electricity unlike a turntable......Would be nice if that (too good to be true) nuclear fusion eventually offered some hope.
But when nuclear power was first introduced it was famously said that "Electricity would be too cheap to meter"
Who believed that?
You really need to question whether you actually need 2 TVs in your room. That's a lot of money to spend on something you use 365 hours in the entire year.I rarely watch TV to be honest. I watch it in the evening for about a hour and then go to sleep.
I sold the LG 55C1 OLED TV I had because of that. Traded in my PS5 too.You really need to question whether you actually need 2 TVs in your room. That's a lot of money to spend on something you use 365 hours in the entire year.
Blair had the chance to build nuclear power stations but bottled it in the end, they would‘ve been quite cheap back in 1996 compared to what they cost now too!Judge deals blow to Blair's nuclear plans
Court rules consultation on power stations was 'misleading and flawed'.www.theguardian.com
