Most is. But there's a lot of renewables out there. Should be some buffer to the price.

I’m assuming renewables has the same sort of ‘cheating’ as carbon neutral does where companies just plant a ton of trees?
because it is tied to the price of gas.... imo the whole thing needs to be split up... even if the over all price you pay is the same they need to let customers see where the costs of their bill are coming from. i spoke to a friend a short while back and they were complaining that green energy costs to much and that is why our bill is going up.This needs to happen.
People (rightly) question why their 100% renewable tariffs are going up.
The energy is generated via renewable means but the supplier can't send you only renewable energy, you get whatever is in the grid the same as everyone else. Its just silly marketing but decoupling electricity prices from gas could in theory mean renewable energy is sold to the grid at a cheaper rate which would help bring the cost down for everyone.I’m assuming renewables has the same sort of ‘cheating’ as carbon neutral does where companies just plant a ton of trees?
Suppliers pay extra for renewables certificates, which pays the renewables suppliers, so the money you pay for a renewable tariff, or to a renewable energy co, does pay for actual renewables.The energy is generated via renewable means but the supplier can't send you only renewable energy, you get whatever is in the grid the same as everyone else
Domestic violence too will get much worse with all the pressures.The issue is the Government are not really looking at the wider impact, people are going to drop back on spending. Retail / Hospitality will take a massive hit just about recovering from Covid. with more small businesses folding which i am seeing this will affect other businesses like a domino affect. Tax cuts wont do anything and not dealing with the elephant in the room. Speaking to friends they are worried even my parents are and they are very money savvy.
my concern is the government not doing anything and we see the cap go up to £5000 to £6000, we can just about afford the price cap but if the £5000 happens a lot of people will be in massive debt, suicides going through the roof specifically men with this on their shoulders.
i think you may be right...... the annoying thing is, unlike covid, which whilst the government may have got things wrong........... covid wasnt their fault, it was a horrible pandemic that even the most organised government we could have had would have struggled to a point.It's Coronavirus V2 economically, except it's not that we can do anything that costs money we just don't have any money.
There will be several waves of impact, personal finances, SMEs, Public services, Transport services, and so on.
And we've been watching it happen like a slow car crash just like late 2019/early 2020.
Still we'll look back on this day in 2/3 years time hopefully and all cheer - they got the big calls right.
Can't tell if serious with these morons in charge but I hope you're right.Still we'll look back on this day in 2/3 years time hopefully and all cheer - they got the big calls right.

Pay for next centuryI actually think there will be a financial conjuring trick along the lines of furlough, the the liability for the money borrowed will be pushed down the road a couple of a years. The real problem is inflation causing high interest rates and making borrowing expensive.
Tongue so far in cheek it's broken the skinCan't tell if serious with these morons in charge but I hope you're right.
UK is better off then a lot of to he eu nations, we have a lot of wind and our own gas reservesWell if every nation is in turmoil, hell even Norway are talking about curbing electricity exports due lack of rainfall to keep the hydro going. Then what does it matter about the cost.
The middle east wont give a **** either way, China will cook the books to make it look fantastic and the USA will hide behind the $$$$$ while it crumbles to social zombie sess pit. The EU will start fragmenting again soon enough. Germany has got it coming to them due to Merkel and her idiocy in trying to deal with the devil.
The UK is just ******
Our gas reserves are beyond minuscule though, compared to some European countries, so it's not really a plus point for us.UK is better off then a lot of to he eu nations, we have a lot of wind and our own gas reserves
