, rather than competing directly with it in order to rein back the price, as is supposed to happen in free-market economics. Shouldn’t climate activists be demanding this link be severed?
The price of generation which was promised to be affordable has gone through the roof. The industry is resetting the price threshold and the profits generated from it, and who really believes that current price level of double that of this time last year will return to the price then? What the activists fail to understand is that we are already being financially ripped off by our government’s failure to control the markets they’ve allowed free rein to. Inflation is high, food-price inflation unprecedented at near 20%. Wages have not kept pace and those on low pay and on fixed incomes or benefits are suffering; the rise in working poor using food banks is testament to the economic mire 13 years of this Tory government has caused.
Climate concerns need to be dealt with in tandem with, not before and to the exclusion of, the imperatives of food and fuel poverty.
