So. The price of electricity has gone up massively.

Has the cost of production gone up by a similar amount?

I recall as a kid, when the price of tin first shot up, the refinery my dad worked at installed shaker beds to recover every last grain. When the price dipped they were shut off as not economically viable. Effort to run system < profit from system.

If the price of electricity goes up in general due to the cost of a major contributor (natural gas) then things like renewables might go from money pit to marginally viable. While we might hope the "green levy" and other scams social policies get cut from energy bills it won't make much odds.

Keeping energy bills high is good for the whole "net zero" grift. They won't drop significantly after either the war in Ukraine finishes or wholesale gas prices dip.

So the levys just go into general taxation, which pays for the NHS, pensions and benefits.

Remove the levys and something else will need to be taxed in its place. What would you chose to tax?

So when your pension stops being paid because the people who process it aren't doing it any more?
