Lots of recent comments about gas prices being back to normal so why is electricity still expensive Truth is gas prices were still over 200% higher than 2016 or 2019, and today they're over 400% higher Gas price amounts to about 45% of your elec bill, volatility has a big cost

All these posts about a 2022 non story demonstrate a complete lack of research or interest in facts. 30 seconds reveals civil service breaks into safe to destroy document ... because they lost the key and the document was 5 years old and destroyed under data retention policies

@7Kiwi Externalities are costs not reflected in the market price. For alcohol and tobacco that's health costs For gas that's carbon, health, price volatility You can challenge the numbers but you can't just ignore the economics

@7Kiwi OBR £52billion covers govt support ECIU £90billion additional gas costs. Different assessment but £142billion in direct energy costs Food inflation 37% since 2020, about 25% due to energy crisis. That's £50billion a year (food, eating out, etc). £150 billion indirect costs

It's starting to look like @elonmusk actions, including acquiring Twitter, are part of a carefully orchestrated plan to implement @peterthiel vision for the future. We should be talking about whether that's a good thing for the majority, rather than just for sovereign individuals

If a 20 minute event starts an hour late, what does that tell you about the 2027 launch date for #cybercab? And why is it a 2 seater coupe with scissor doors, form over function?

Great to see a big homebuilder partner with @OctopusEnergy to deliver thousands of homes with zero energy bills (guaranteed for at least 5 years). Electrification is the key to cheap energy, as well as clean energy. https://t.co/BWFhHklyGt
