I believe Centrica did some research before the Iran war and found that if we were able to get gas for free, energy bills wouldn't fall and would actually rise over the next few years (because of the mix towards structurally high cost supply).

It says something that the people running the monopoly cash machine are asking questions about bankrupting their customers/ability to pay but politicians are shutting their eyes and pounding onto the accelerator. What a world.

Why are people making (intentionally?) vague statements about prices going up?

Are you referring to the war Trump started, or are you all climate denying loons who love Trump and think net-zero is a Chinese hoax?

Or just nihilists that just think the world is going to shit in multiple ways and refuse to even contemplate small silver linings on dark clouds?

It's impossible to tell from these quips.

Only 3 certainties in life; death, taxes and the cost of everything going up every year.

And people not being able to count apparently...

These are people attempting to convince themselves.
