High Energy Costs Linked to Carbon Tax

Current electricity prices average around £110 per megawatt hour, with £60 of that attributed to carbon tax. This tax is increasing the financial burden on consumers and has raised concerns about energy affordability. The discussion highlights how the UK's energy resources are being underutilized, resulting in reliance on pricey imports. The call for a reevaluation of energy policies emphasizes the need for a more sustainable and economically viable energy strategy.
