Malcolm of course everyone in the UK cooked their Turkey or nut roast courtesy of fossil fuels…
Virtually zero wind produced 1% of our electricity needs and solar produced just over 1% of our electricity needs on the big day. Solar dropping to zero at 15:54….
The UK importing Gas from over 10 countries this month and newspapers wondering why energy prices keep rising???

Happy Christmas Mr Hinks.
Those rises are all the more inexplicable given the recent fall in the cost of gas. Is somebody profiteering do you think?

It really is hard to imagine UK fracking being economically viable if we are going to see gas prices down below 25p a therm again. Wouldn’t you agree?
this is money has a go at explaining why energy bills have gone up ( the price cap is primarily to blame it seems ), though looking back over 30 years is a different story.
The title of the compare the market story is click bait ( as noted in comments to the times and other papers who ran the story without checking the data it seems ).
