The largest contributing factor to EU price rises in electricity is the shutting down of NPP's after what happened in Japan: As if our parliaments are so stupid to think that something as bad could happen here. Sure there is the possibility of a Chernobyl type incident in which a team of workers ballsed up a reactor, but wtih modern technology this simply couldn't happen unless done deliberately. The simple fact is that NPP's produce far cheaper and cleaner energy than even so called "green powers" such as wind farms, and with fossil fuels going up in price all the time we should all be building NPP's as quick as possible.
There is even a fusion project under way in Europe (collaboration with US teams) which is despiratly trying to source £35m, the UK government is spending £250m on installing new internet services.....who gives a crap about fast internet when you can't afford to run a pc?
Well thats my little rant over
