While politicians are dicking about, the energy companies come up with a plan
It sounds āreasonableā but I suspect weāll get hit with the interest etc so itāll cost us a lot of money. I donāt see them volunteering to tap their shareholders for more capital, or reverse share buybacks - or basically share any of the pain.
And since all the upstream suppliers (shell, aramco, bp etc) are making record profits, prices are obviously unnecessarily high and there is plenty of room for reduction somewhere along the line.
All that you said is true,
But you know who pays for everything in the end, if it keeps people from going into (more) debt and crashing their credit rating with bounced direct debits etc then it has to be better than anything suggested so far by the politicians.

In which Ripple Energy are still trying to work out what is going on as well.

Does the gov really think that? Build a whole new infrastructure for hydrogen gas? What a fucking stupid idea.
The future is obviously electric, with heat pumps, induction hobs etc. The point of hydrogen is as a storage medium in industrial areas by the coast to store power from offshore wind.
A foreign country for Mogg.
