Expensive gas still biggest driver of high UK electricity bills
High gas prices, not green policies, remain the main reason UK households are paying more for electricity

Today marks the 67th anniversary of the day the music died. Feb. 3, 1959. 67 years ago today (at 1:00 a.m.), the plane carrying Buddy, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, and pilot Roger Peterson went down in a field near Clear Lake, Iowa. I took this photo at the edge of that field in 2014.

The relationship between gas prices, peaker gas power plants, years and years of obscure contracts & regulation, in an artificial market, created to support privatisation, is just mind boggling.
