Fusion is still a fantasy that may not scale up from mere seconds of experimental viability, whilst renewables become more efficient and cost 10% less as each year passes, supplying 85% of UK power needs in August this year. Back to not living long enough to see fusion :ROFLMAO:

I take your points, although European gas prices have increased 150% in the past year and most of ours now comes from Norway, but lets not argue. The way forward is through solar and wind.

Yes, but in the UK we are not (yet) in the third world, and first world countries will be (expectedly) first to adopt low carbon/fossil fuel technologies. Taxes, like death, will affect us all, but we all benefit from their use. I seem to remember heating oil being quoted as being 4 times less...

I would look at the longer term situation. It is gas prices alone which have recently soared and there is talk about unlinking the price of electricity from gas (it is currently linked). Also, as EV's replace petrol and diesel the value of non-EV's will fall as the availability of their fuel...

A lot of this will be down to a range of factors, chip shortage, supply shortage, inflation costs, rising demand because of fuel prices, movement from fossil to EV fuels driving demand etc. EV's are great investments right now!
