Utilities Obscene Rises

We have our own oil, a huge amount of green energy now, wind farms everywhere and plans for another Nuclear power plant, our energy bills should be coming down not going up, why are we letting these thieves rip us off? We need an investigation into why we have the dearest utilities in Europe?

    So you are basically saying that in the UK spending is in the  Billions on new energy replacements?

    And you can actually look at the facts? As Dolor has kindly posted
