Al_Boy Along_the_Wire Goldmans are predicting oil prices rising north of $100 a barrel again this year. Agree with your ‘Buckle Up’ comment. But don’t forget; ‘Inflation will be coming down soon!’! (LOL)!
Homegrove We got a new nuclear power plant online this week. It was late 14 years, but better late then never eh?
Amps Homegrove It was late 14 years Fuckin lollers! I can’t begin to imagine the the issues they must hit, financially and technically, but that’s daft as fuck.
Homegrove Amps luckily the French company building it had to pay for the complications, instead of the tax payers here. It was a settled sum when Finland bought it from Areva. I think it beat the new Berlin airport with a couple of years. That was really late too.
Hursty https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/mounting-cost-energy-bills-support-075019978.html More money into the coffers of BP, Shell, EDF et al I wonder if there is a better strategy?
Hursty https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jul/27/british-gas-record-profit-price-cap-increase 900% increase in profits yet it’s the wholesale price rises due to the war in Ukraine Absolute bollocks, we are being completely mugged off
Hursty https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/mar/23/uk-power-firms-market-energy-prices Another great side effect of privatisation now to be banned thankfully https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/new-rules-boost-consumer-protection-winter-202324
Hursty “A one-off rise to energy bills of up to £17 a year to help prevent suppliers going bust is being considered by the UK’s energy watchdog.” I’m not sure how these companies are coping at this difficult time, the shareholders mental health must really be taking a hit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67087043
Hursty Everyone happy still paying way over the wholesale price for gas and electric? https://www.cliffordtalbot.co.uk/energy-prices/ We are practically down to pre “energy crisis” levels now and yet everyone is still getting royally shafted on the price cap
Millsy Hursty and miss out on the frisson of excitement when submitting my meter readings? No thanks!
Mad_Cyril Hursty Everyone happy still paying way over the wholesale price for gas and electric? Is it cheaper at Costco?
Millsy Hursty avoiding smart meters like the plague. Might go full Flares style and get a pay key for the Londis.
Hursty Mad_Cyril unfortunately not but it’s obscenely cheaper on the open wholesale market for energy companies and has been for a while
Hursty Millsy I saw an article saying some so-called smart meters may lose their smart capability when 2g/3g networks are turned off Do you have a trust issue with them or just concerned that the tech is shit?
