For about £5k you can get a superb whole-house generation system and also sell your surplus back to the national grid and make a bob or two.
As it will obviously pay for itself in around 5 years it seems worth the investment to get one, plus you're green from the moment it's installed0 -

We have to remember that the inflation fogure is the result of all price movements weighted. Theoretically, at least, it could be less or more than 2%. I would be wary of wanting too low a rise, as it might ride on a massive recession and unemployment.
The article does not state AFAICS a time scale for this 100% rise, which includes, as the writrer has not included a phrase like 'above normal price adjustments', the normal adjustments.
With shock articles one aways must consider qui bono- to whose benfit0
