Quote: Stand-Offish "The folly in letting French and German energy companies buy half of our suppliers is now apparent post the Brexit vote.
nPower is to raise gas prices by 5% and electricity by a whopping 15%
And rather than the rest sticking together and shafting the greedy lovers , they will follow suit and shaft US!
Also, if I am correct, we are connected to the French grid. At periods like breakfast and tea time we are importing electricity from France.
What kind of dumb-ass thinking got us here?
If Brexit doesn't result in a change of tack, then I will be staggered.'"
How will Brexit make any difference ?
The deals with EDF, to build new Nuclear Power Stations have already been signed (prior to the referendum) and we have effectively agreed to I think a 30% increase by 2020 ?.
Unless you think that Brexit will change this, which it wont, you should expect your energy costs to rise steadily until 2020 and probably beyond.
If we were still digging coal from the ground we may still have some control but, instead, we have put our energy supplies in French hands, oh yeah and then fallen out with them
All good stuff.
At least we will have "control"
