Not fit for purpose.
An inflation busting THIRTEEN (13) PERCENT rise in an average annual energy bill.
Thanks Donny.

Yep 13% seems outrageous.
Until you understand the reasons why world wide energy prices are going up.
If you spend 10mins on google (it's a search engine) to understand what determines energy prices it will stop you posting messages that show your ignorance of the facts on a 3rd division clubs message board.Farige Bought For £5m

Every companies are never able to make a loss? Because a small margin is always built in.
Yet the people paying the bill carry the losses.

Never understood what ofgem purpose is to be honest..In time of crisis like this..why do we not just extract more of our own oil/gas..this net zero shxt going to bankrupt us..more vat to treasury tho on higher fuel

Ffs man. Without net zero then none of us will be around on earth to be be bankrupt or anything. You sound like another if those simpleton thickos who don't realise the drastic consequences of global warming because surely no one with any brains at all can deny the world is heating up.

Funny how anyone who doesn’t fully agree with you is suddenly a “thicko”. No one’s saying the climate never changes or that the world hasn’t warmed up a bit. People are just questioning whether hammering ordinary people with more taxes and costs in the UK is going to make any real difference while China and India keep opening coal mines and we contribute less than 1% of global emissions anyway.
The reality is Britain could disappear tomorrow and it wouldn’t change the global climate in any noticeable way, yet we’re expected to pay more for cars, heating, flights and everything else in the name of net zero.
I’d rather see this country become a world leader in things like reducing child poverty, improving cancer survival rates and fixing education before lecturing everyone about saving the planet.

Well said….although we could continue to make virtual signalling to the row whilst Miliband makes himself look important. We can’t afford to spend that much money and still expect to have a welfare state/ NHS in its current form.

I consider myself reasonably well educated as it happens - yes higher than just lumbering around at school and picking up a few O Levels or GCSEs. Admittedly I've a lot to learn but one thing I have learned through my life is that the majority of people can't see beyond their immediate infatuation with whatever whim they may have. There is no thinking things through. There is scant regard for the consequences of actions (or lack thereof) so unless people see an immediate positive outcome they don't give a toss about the longer term consequences or implications of the decisions they make. This happens on an individual basis as well as organisations, institutions and even government. It's one of the main reasons why we're fucked as a country. For far too long those in power have sought to remain on power by offering pathetic bribes to the electorate like tax cuts or a triple lock pension provision. And too often the electorate fall for it. So yes, far too many people are thick but I don't call putcpeople as thick of they're prepared to have a sensible and reasonable discussion about anything really. Most people appear unable to do so though which is a shame.
BTW I agree with your final paragraph but I suspect how we might reach those goals might be a little different.

It's illegal for us to extract our own north sea oil/gas so we pay Norway to do it for us, meaning we don't make any money on our own resource. And we also import from further afield which increases the carbon footprint. It's a badly thought out policy by faux environmentalist MPs who want to look like they are being green but are actually being the opposite in reality.outlaws is not the barometer of sanity. You're either Luton full tilt or you are nothing. We have spunked way too much money on shite. The end.

You miss my point spectacularly. Fuck up the world and we have no quality of existence anyway. In other words we have a moral obligation to look after this planet. Oh, and FYI China are the world's biggest producer of solar panels and leasing the way in both solar and wind production.
Re: Ofgem
Posted by Poster from the past on 27/5/2026, 19:03:42, in reply to "Re: Ofgem"
They're also simultaneously the biggest carbon producers on the planet.
As previously mentioned, the common people in UK are going to have to pay through the nose for the green initiatives that essentially make no meaningful difference to global carbon emissions. It's not that it's a bad idea to go green, it's that the costs to ordinary folk aren't justifiable. Sledgehammer to crack a nut. Wealthy individuals and organisations selling green goods and services to further enrich themselves at our expense.outlaws is not the barometer of sanity.

More North Sea drilling isn’t some quick fix, new projects would take years before any meaningful gas actually comes online and even then UK prices are still tied to global markets?
Surely the whole point of net zero is supposed to be moving us away from being exposed to volatile oil and gas prices in the first place?

UK is apparently responsible for less than 1% of global carbon emissions.
I think that figure might be a bit false as we contract out supplies from other countries but they get the 'blame'.
But still we aren't anywhere near the main offenders. Our net zero policy looks good but won't really make much difference yet it will cost regular folk a lot to become compliant.outlaws is not the barometer of sanity.

It really should be irrelevant how much %age we emit. We should be giving a lead. Afterall we gave a lead on the polluting industrial revolution throughout the Commonwealth. You can't just argue out of moral duty with whataboutery.

Posted by Kbot on 27/5/2026, 13:44:15, in reply to "Re: Ofgem"
As well as reducing pollution a big reason is to cut costs through having to depend on the susceptible price of fossil fuels. It makes absolute sense to learn lessons and cut our reliability on them.

The state of our water ways and coastline, the litter ridden hedgerows, the recycling con, etc. means that we really are cunts when it comes to environmental concerns and in absolutely no place consider ourselves as exempt from playing g a part in cleaning up the world in its broadest meaning including reducing carbon emissions.
