Yep, short term build reactors. Long term more solar/wind/other renewables. And most importantly storage systems. We need grants and/or interest free loans to commercial and residential for installation of solar and battery systems.
I've never mentioned this before on here but my main hobby for the last 52 years has been gigging with different bands in different venues
It's now come to the point that I think in a years time because of the cost of living and heating crisis I may have nowhere to play even if I offered my services for nothing.
Talking to 2 Landlords recently who said their electric/gas is £1000 a week and it could go up to £4000 which they won't be able to afford to stay open.
Me and the wife usually have a meal out, a takeaway and go watch a band once a week but come next year all that could stop because of the crisis, other usual punters will be in the same state so therefore most venues will be empty and have to close.
In my opinion it's looking bad for the leisure industry, I hope I'm wrong, I usually am.

In an economic sense... the economy should make some things exist and some things not exist based on the value they offer. Food at a pub costs a lot, and isn't particularly good food, and they claim you pay for the experience but they experience isn't particularly good either.
