  • The whole energy crisis thing

I got an offer for electricity where the price gets checked every four months, and until April it’s 30 c/kwh. We’ve been on a deal since the start of November where the pricing is hourly, and according to electricity’s market price. Yesterday it went over 70 c/kwh for awhile in the afternoon. So now I feel like I’ve won the lottery.

Before November we had a fixed price of 7 c/kwh.

    I’ve worked at Shell in the past and they have about three floors in their HQ dedicated to effectively tax avoidance.

    If you taxed that 40 billion alone you’d more than likely be able to completely sort all the strike action in all sectors.

    I’ve spent £900 on energy for Dec and Jan, might be cheaper to run the house on this Prime energy drink?

    Another day, another record profit published for an energy company…

    Good to know all our hard earned cash is lining the pockets of the top execs and shareholders with a bumper haul

    Not only that, taxpayers currency is going into that pot, which is borrowed of course and will have to be paid back

      Along_the_Wire the people here working in the supermarkets (cashiers etc) just got a big raise. I think the companies after record profits thought wisely that fighting striking employers making barely 2K a month (with weekend pays etc) might look bad.

        3.3 billion. These cunts are the same cunts that have made my mum, who’s 86, turn her hearing off 4 days a week in the middle of winter. The same cunts breaking into people’s homes with new born babies and forcing them to have a meter. Absolute fucking filth. Death is no wear near enough for these fucking parasite’s. 🤮

        I’m confusing her with me and my Mrs. I’d choose more than 4 days though .

        Has anyone seen any data on the amount of electricity required to run all the millions of EVs in the next decade?

        I wonder how much the increased load has been factored in, especially when it comes to the price of electric, I’m guessing its only going to rise

        Those energy stocks are looking even more attractive

          Hursty
          That’s a good point. It will surely push up the price for tons of people who can’t afford an electric vehicle. Am I right in saying we haven’t got the storage capacity in the UK which is also a massive problem especially when it come to renewables.
