I'm agog the best the prime minister can do is ask the utility companies to play nice. How utterly useless and ineffective does that look?

Government outlines plans to cut energy bills by £50

Quote:
Mr Osborne said the change would be part-funded by extra tax money from cracking down on tax avoidance. That would reduce annual bills by approximately £12, the BBC understands.


Cracking down on tax avoidance? Which soft target is it this time, eBay sellers?

Chancellor George Osborne said the government would pay for some measures currently included in people's bills, and the cost of insulating homes would be spread over a longer period.

This would "help families" and firms would comply with the changes, he said.

It will just drag out the expense for the consumer for a lot longer. If they reduce the insulation efforts then people will have to live in colder houses paying out more for longer. Already many are having to decide between heating and eating.

Not to mention those guaranteed prices for building nuclear power stations.

Gordon Brown had to ask the petrol companies to play nice with their pricing. They took heed for a few weeks, and then started pouching the prices up again.

I think mister Hifi covered this adequately in the last related thread.

so unless you are going to do a Venezula and sell at less than cost it ain't going to get much cheaper
