    To which I would also add the biodiversity crisis is equal &, of course, linked - the other comments stand, too. It's going to have major impacts on ecologies that will affect humanity too.

    If you believe the hype some of the energy suppliers only use 100% renewable energy so their prices must be quite low now.  :D

    A common misunderstanding sadly, when energy prices are high why would a renewable generator sell their power for less than any other generator?
    Historically the renewable generators were actually more expensive, which is why the very few genuinely 100% renewable sourced suppliers were given derogations from the Ofgem cap so they could afford to buy from the renewable generators...
