Sounds like socialism to me, not good enough, we need everyone to struggle immensely whilst a very small number of people get very rich, it's the only way.They say releasing new oil fields won't reduce the cost of oil to us as it's a world market. But why can't we issue licences that agree to produce the oil and only use it here...at a reasonable price ...not the World price. It's OUR oil.
Presumably I havefucked up then. Would not be the first timeAre you sure you're on a fixed tariff? When did you sign up for it? I was under the impression that most tarrifs were 12 months long, and there have been no fixes available this year (or even last year) that were better than the price cap.

UK households could save an average of £147 per year by switching off so-called vampire devices.
Yeah read this.
Unfortunately turning off my TV at the wall just isn't practical as the switch is hidden (I guess it's the sane for most wall mounted TV's).
Also turning off set top boxes isn't really feasible as people use them for recording.
I'll defo start turning my microwave off at the wall though. Might save me a quid per month.
The UK should update the price cap on energy bills every three months instead of twice a year to help households, the energy watchdog has proposed.
Ofgem said that a more frequent price cap would reflect the most up-to-date energy prices.

We buy our fuel by the litre. A litre at the moment is on average £1.70 so £7.65 for a gal. If you convert that into dollars we are paying about $9.65 for a gallon.We had a 40c increase in a week last week. Gas for 5.99/gal and it's now 6.39/gal. Filled the car at 5.99 then went past it on Tuesday 6.19, next it was 6.29 and then a day later it was 6.39. Probably up again now.
I'm guessing they do provide protection for the power companies, because they can't afford to have many more go broke, because of blackout issues and supply failures.This new set of regulations is anti competitive. It effectively stops companies from offering lower rates. Capitalism is great so long as it isn’t in favour of the consumer. These regulations seem to provide more protection for the power companies than the consumer.
