Hide AdIt is long past time that Ofgem was finally shut down and a new, strong regulation system put in its place by the government to stop these further rises – and to control the government’s fantasy dash for more windmills and other very costly energy systems crucifying the people of the UK with even more unsustainable prise rises in electricity and gas.
Living in the 21st century should not involve choosing between heating and eating.
It is time both the UK, and indeed the Scottish Government, got a grip.
There should be a balanced generation of nuclear, a little gas and some solid, dependable renewables like tidal power.
That would be the solution, along with ensuring that the energy utilities cut their profits to help those less fortunate.
It really will be a bleak Christmas for many this year.
