RE: Trump Criticizes UK North Sea Tax for Discouraging Drilling23 May 2025 20:35
I currently work in the electricity distribution industry and formerly the electricity and gas metering industry. Im surprised how many medium sized gas turbine electricity generation sites are being constructed and connected to the electricity networks by companies like Clarke energy. The government is trying to phase out gas boilers in new builds and force people onto electric heating systems, electricity is circa 4 x dearer than gas per kWh.. so the people that get pushed onto electric heating will have average bills 4 x dearer, which then brings in more vat revenue for the government but pushes home owners into debt and energy poverty. It’s a big tax grab.. band that same electricity is produced by the same gas they are phasing out in homes…
