David Cameron has announced a review of green energy taxes, saying they have helped push up household bills to "unacceptable" levels.

    You mean the guy that actually added most of the green taxes noticed? :D

    (Well, OK, one of his lackeys.)

    A review doesn't necessarily mean they will decrease the taxes. We'll have to pay extra soon to fix the damage all their hot air is causing.

    Yeah, I'm sceptical of any significant progress, but at least it's a public acknowledgement of how much green taxes affect our bills. I don't think many people know, because everyone is too busy shouting about the energy companies turning a profit.
  • Cameron mentioned about "looking at " removing the tax out of our energy bills and into some other form of taxation to cover the approx £100 a year.
