The deals with EDF, to build new Nuclear Power Stations have already been signed (prior to the referendum) and we have effectively agreed to I think a 30% increase by 2020 ?. Unless you think that Brexit will change this, which it wont, you should expect your energy costs to rise steadily until 2020 and probably beyond. If we were still digging coal from the ground we may still have some control but, instead, we have put our energy supplies in French hands, oh yeah and then fallen out with them All good stuff. At least we will have "control" Who mentioned nuclear stations and price increases. And as for this latest increase it took our government by surprise ... so no arrangement there then. And after that you agree with the point I was making about putting ourselves at the mercy of our lost friends. Not sure any of them liked us anyway .. |

You mentioned that you would be "surprised if Brexit didnt result in a change of tack" Brexit wont make any difference unless we renege on the deal with EDF to build new power stations, which isn't going to happen. You may not have mentioned power stations but, we are locked in to year on year increases because of that deal. |

Were you trying to make a point or just fancied typing? |
