Then companies won't drill any more wells as they will lose money doing so... The market, geology and regulatory industry is totally different in Europe, it's not going to be the same as the US...
It is that time of year again.

And then get a nice shock come 2017 when you come to renew and prices are like 20% higher or more.

I just bought some thermal blackout lining curtains, they have made a big difference at keeping the heat in so far. hopefully i can cut down on heating usage as a result. Only cost me £20 from the range.

I find it laughable that people moan about the cost of energy. I'm not saying that it isn't expensive but generally people don't blink an eye at the up cost of keeping their gadgets and personal entertainment etc..
The latest smart phones alone are anything between £29 to £45 pm, that's before premium TV channels, internet cost, etc. The problem is here as that generally it isn't something people benefit from. It's an essential not a choice.. just like food etc and it threatens their personal disposable income. Whist I appreciate that these fuel companies and shareholders are making a hefty profit [from us] why is that different to supermarkets supplying us our food?
My only concern is the elderly. As long as they are looked after and the government support them then i don't see the issue. For the rest of us it's time to put things back into perspective.

No it doesn't, firms following others is not a cartel.
I'd prefer "none" to "minimal" as regards pollutants hitting the water table. Accidents will always happen, no matter how careful the contractors are.

Is fuel included in RPI / CPI? I can't find it.
If it isn't, then that's an outrage because it doesn't reflect on consumer/public spending.
edit - i guess it's not included as retail items would already include transport costs.. but it still doesn't reflect it's usage within the home, such as heating..

Not just people on the lowest rung, the assault on living standards is affecting middle income earners as well.
At least the middle class can downgrade their house and car or whatever though.
Edit: Or middle earners not necessarily middle class lol
Why is it his fault?
