How though

Unless you can increase supply of alternative sources or cut demand, there aren’t many options to address what is a global market issue.

Needs tackling at all levels in the chain but the immediate problem is the price consumers and small businesses are having to pay. That has to be subsidised or deferred somehow. We are a rich country, we can easily afford to but a political decision is being taken not to do so.

And medium term we need more alt energy sources and nuclear power generation.

And rapid remediation of energy inefficient housing stock.

And a rapid reset of consumer energy use.

Should be weekly COBRA meetings until this is resolved.
