We have huge reserves of gas and coal under our feet it would be more environmentally friendly to use this than to have it shipped halfway across the world to us.

[HenryBenedictUSA]

Handouts is how we got into this mess in the first place

[lanpartyanimal]

You will own nothing AND LIKE IT! It's coming folks, it's coming...

[martinnewall]

Yeah...lets let Oxbridge Eton Toff politicians rebuild the Ukrainian train infrastructure while we shiver this winter...MY GOD..😥

[theorphansdadzone]

Cutting out fossil fuels, before we have a viable alternative in place, the net zero pushers will be responsible for a huge increase in suffering and death's.

[delladog]

You all wanted to support the Ukrainian people and show solidarity well this is the cost of that support, suck it up or tell your leaders to stop supporting Ukraine and seek a peace settlement with Russia but don't cry about high energy prices then virtue signal about the war

[donnyrutter]

UK rise 81% then some… French rise 4%. Go figure?

As a Canadian I find it hard to feel sorry for the UK or the EU. Your Gov.t wanted Net-Zero and that's what your getting. Who couldn't see this coming, you should have listened to Nigel Farage.

[Enlthened]

Why don't they stop them from being corrupt!

[vMaxHeadroom]

Bottom line, not building Nuclear Power to provide an back up until renewables were strong enough is the key issue. The Climate ideologues who stopped everything and just kept going on about net zero have caused so many issues. Yes I understand that we need to move to better energy sources but not planning for the worst and having energy independence is key. Both Conservatives and Labour have let us down.

[smithyveritas]

Don't worry renewable energy and eating less meat will keep you warm.Shivering could become the new way to exercise. Bugs have less cooking time and can be eaten raw.

[thomasmorin]

Paying the price of Covid and Furlough.

[johntozer]

There's no crisis just pure selfish greed

[marklink]

More conditioning just like the fuel raise they price to high prices then lower to were they really want it wake up people

[derryshore]

Why are people not out in their masses..over Uk building Ukraines infrustructure etc..It will not stop at the railways. Yet people marched for a bit of cloth covering their mouth. No marches over the migrants invading us either.

[kiwipetejohntaylor]

Cut the green levy until this situation subsides we're near net zero already

[thetraveller]

They all fail miserably to point out that it’s the government which causes inflation. Excessive government spending and printing money - laughably known as ‘quantitative easing’ - which blows up the economy.

[commonsense]

w..e..f..says "jump" governments say "how high"?

[nickerrison-davey]

Why are energy bills going up when wind and sunlight is free?

[neil]

What!!! Form a useful committee to stop their profits lol. The Corona committee was formed to ensure profits. Lady where are you from.
