Another record set as we rely massively on imported energy from Europe to avoid power cuts.

French nuclear power keeping our lights on.

Wind and solar making negligible contributions at the moment.

A disaster for consumers and industry but worse to come with Millivolt's mad net zero policies.

Will this be the issue that the Government falls over, or will Sir Kier change course before its too late ?

It truly is amazing how climate change enthusiasts want to allow the country be indebted to those who hold the essential resources in the palm of their hands. The sky is the limit when it comes to pricing, after all what are we going to do about it when we have thrown away our ability to supply ourselves.

We could and should be one of the most energy independent countries in the world. Oil, gas, coal, shale gas, used to have a good nuclear network. Its indicative of our awful political class (all parties) that we've thrown most of that.

Decades of under investment and shareholder dividends.

But if you don't sow there is nothing to REEP. and so meany don't want to see new gas fields to supply UK power stations but we are 60% reliant on gas for electricity..

EV cars and heat pumps are pointless without Electricity.

Don't think I would be being hind going as far as mining coal.

There is a few comments on here about going back to coal but that would be massively unaffordable. Opening the pits, training staff, tooling, processing. The investment just isn’t there. And with the high salaries in this country it is cheaper to import it.

And that’s before we even get into the environmental damage!

It’s private companies that extract gas/oil from “our “ oil fields who then sell it on the open market. They export approximately 80% of those products to overseas markets.

I would expect nothing less

However, we have moved on from Wilson and the dark days of labour led unions that brought the county to its knees (I hope you would have expected nothing less )

In all seriousness, we need a plan, we have not had a government with a plan, noise yes, plan no.
