Gas is also traded on world markets along with orange juice, sugar, coffee and even lean hogs. Traders will push the prices up. One trader made billions this summer by betting gas would go up to 10 dollars and it did!

@Fredrik Legally they can't shut your power / gas off during or entering the winter months but at any other time they have to take steps to recover payments and work out options with the person including using debt collectors and only after this has failed they have to apply to the courts for a warrant for permission to disconnect power / gas. Generally what they will do instead is if you fail to pay and fail to agree to terms and the debt collection company fails then the energy company will apply for an entry forced entry warrant for the purpose of changing the gas meter to a pay as you go one with the bebt being added to the meter, and these can be granted at any time of the year. This side of the energy company's I am sadly aware of as i was such a terrible human I mistakenly under paid my British Gas bill by £5 and since i was paperless I was not getting letters and they claimed to have sent 3 and the first i knew about it was a letter from the debt collectors for £5 lol

It's zero for the retailers who buy gas and sell it to us. Lowering the price cap only impacts them. Seperate companies dig it out of the ground. They can charge what they like and are raking it in.

more like 75billion profit for starters mate

Depends which class of companies. There are multiple ones in the supply chain. First you have the companies that actually extract the gas. This is the likes of Gazprom and BP. These companies are absolutely raking it in right now. Picture Scrooge McDuck's money bin. Then you have the companies that sell energy to you. These carry out the same function as retailers: They buy wholesale, and sell to you. This is British Gas, Octopus, Etc. They are subject to the price cap for residences, and right now they are very much /not/ raking in the money, because they are selling a lot of the energy at a loss. The price cap mechanism was intended to protect the public from price shock in the event of a short-term disruption. For something that lasts this long, it's just putting companies out of business. The smaller ones first, like Bulb, that don't have the cash reserves to continue operating through the crisis. There is some overlap, in the form of complicated corporate structures. British Gas doesn't directly pump gas out of the ground - but they are owned by Centrica, who do own rights to gas fields and extract it in partnership with other more-specialised companies. EDF is both a producer of electricity (they own many power stations) and a seller to households, but those activities are carried out by separate divisions of the company.

If you don't pay you will simply screw yourself.

To be fair, she's the CEO of the industry body representing one of the richest industries on the planet. £50K to her would represent about what she makes in 1-2 days and *about 30 seconds worth of profit* for her industry. So, I don't think it's malice or spin on her behalf. I think she simply lacks context. For most people, 1 days wage would represent a low income and it would be hard to imagine anyone living on anything less than that. That's despite there being people in the world whom live on less than the daily wage of even the poorer people in developed nations. It's all about context.

@@elcristoph7380 I didn’t say it was. My point was specifically about gas storage.

The energy retailers that you deal with /aren't/. That's what the price cap is for. Without the price cap, it would cost even more. The piles-o-money are being made by the energy extractors, who are currently in Russia using /your/ money to fund their war.

@@vylbird8014 it's not really a cap though if it keeps being changed

@@cag506 The price cap was intended to protect customers from short price spikes. Situations where a storm might shut down power stations, the cost of power shoots up a hundred times over a day, and ordinary people across the country are stunned at the end of the month to receive a bill that charges them more in a week than they usually spend on power in a year. This is not the circumstance the cap was envisioned for - it's a long-term supply disruption across all of Europe. So there is no option but to raise the cap, otherwise energy companies will just go bankrupt.

You are quite right---Nuclear power is the only true carbon-free power source that can be produced in any quantity to supply a nation of size such as the UK. Solar and wind are heavily subsidized, very land-intensive, and will never produce power in sufficient quantity to even come close to powering a nation. There aren't enough raw materials and silver in the world to construct enough solar, there isn't enough rare-earth minerals or copper to construct enough windmills, the UK doesn't receive enough sunshine to power the country, and there isn't enough Lithium supply in the world to construct the massive batteries required to store power for nighttime, and when the wind doesn't blow. Green renewable power might be fine for your off-grid cabin or sailboat, but expecting solar to reliably power a nation is bonkers.

@@simontemplar404 Sarcasm exists.

Indirectly dependent. The UK doesn't import much Russian gas. But the UK does buy gas from Norway. And so does Germany. The UK also buys gas shipped from around the world by LNG tanker, and so does everyone else. So all the countries that do depend on Russian gas are now looking for a source elsewhere, from the same places that the UK buys it. Which means a bidding war driving up prices.

hydrogen is free energy kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jt-HhJagm9bQiWw.html as are a few others which work.

Unfortunately, "green energy" has not delivered on the promise of reduced cost. the UK doesn't receive enough sunshine to ever make solar farms a steady-enough power source to power a nation of 100 million. Nuclear power is the only true carbon-free power source. In my lifetime of five decades, the world as a whole has backed away from nuclear power, to our own detriment, and that of the environment.

@@contrarian604 we have to be power independent and that means hydrogen, Tesla, frequency power and zero point energy. There is also wave energy which they seem to not talk about. Free energy is the future amd can only be the future. The toxic waste from that is silly there is no where to put it.

The issue is the whole sale price. Nationalizing it would allow you to control the consumer price but in order to get the gas in you will still need to pay out a lot in wholsale prices. Global supply is just to low to meet demand, when this happens you either get high prices or shortages.

Thing is, it is the gas price that has gone up. The distribution companies which were offering discounts have all gone bust. We could nationalise Saudi Arabia but we would have to invade them to do it.

@@kawallabair3216 true but the price is set by the market.. If you found gold, that gold has a price which is already set. So you would need to sell it at a massive loss..

@Richard L You dont need foreign investment on rigs that are 80 years old and which need decommissioning in 20 years or less for climate reasons. Profits from oil companies are largely fueling director pay and foreign shareholdings (particularly mutual funds and pensions) rather than direct infrastructure investment. Our problems are productivity and public sector driven, nationalisation of a dying commodity helps us control exports, control short term prices, fund the public purse and divert funds to renewables through subsidisation. Oil is not a market which benefits from competition as its a natural monopoly - So there is less harm in nationalising. The disadvantages would be slower extraction tech development due to lack of competitive profit incentive, but who cares? We dont need deep sea oil and tar sands, we need nuclear plants and dams.
