I just don't understand how lowering fuel costs doesn't increase economic output and prosperity for all. They will recoup lost revenue in higher corporation tax receipts. USA doesn't tax fuel at 50% and look at their gpd growth.
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.
No more need to worry about the insane energy costs in the uk. Andy has a plan to bring down the prices this winter. Solar should do it. I’m sure it’ll be sunny every day.
GPT-5.6 Sol is the first coding model I’ve trusted with genuinely long, messy projects. I’m using Codex to build a citation-first legal RAG system and a quant research stack, and it can inspect, plan, implement, test and review with remarkably little hand-holding.
This is just more of the old nothing to see here nonsense
On 23 June the system was outside the "safe operational limit" for extended periods and this was resolved only when "Emergency Assistance" was instructed on the interconnectors to France and the Netherlands
The names "safe operational limit" and "Emergency Assistance" are relevant here. They indicate there IS something to see here
Craig Dyke claims "no customer demand was disconnected". This is not true. EA on the interconnectors means you cut off interconnector demand ie you're cutting the demand of other countries
Industry contacts tell me this has not gone down well in these other countries who think we should use our own reserves before cutting them off
Blaming "adverse interconnector flows" is pathetic. Interconnectors flow both ways. Is NESO seriously saying it assumes they will always import to us??
Instead of half truths why not explain...
1. Why was the frequency so low for so long?
2. Was there any reserve left?
3. Why did they cut interconnectors before doing voltage reduction?
4. Why was there no EMN or Notice of High Risk of Demand Control issued that day?
5. Were any transmission constraints violated?
6. Would the grid have been secure if NSL or Viking, the largest infeeds, had tripped?
These are simple questions. Let's have some candid answers
