Oh and to put another figure on it, in the papers the other day it said wholesale gas and electricity prices have recently risen by over 90% recently. How do you explain that? Has it suddenly become a lot more expensive to pump oil out of the ground or gas? Has there been some global increase in demand all of a sudden or is it that government's conspire to let these prices go through the roof? More tax for the governments concerned and more chance of meeting EU carbon targets! What are they playing at? Food up 140% since 2002 as well due to biofuels.
Seems like the 'free-market' operating to me.
