Guess it doesn't really matter where you are in a nuclear war, you wouldn't want to survive it anyway |

its gotta be some sort of scam isnt it? lets look at the numbers, ok uks numbers are pretty bad 38% coal, 28% gas, 21% nuclear, 11% renewable uk heavily relies on fossil fuel, and a third is gas... still, how do prices quadruple? well, no reserves... "The UK’s stores hold enough gas to meet the demand of four to five winter days, or just 1% of Europe’s total available storage. The Netherlands has capacity more than nine times the UK’s, while Germany’s is 16 times the size." for germany: just 13%! of our electricity is generated with gas and germany still somehow managed to buy putins gas until our reserves were almost completely filled, to make us go through winter with it. still the market price tripled. like we know the oil companies recently overcharge germany 20ct more than they need to, just because they can screw us over... anyway, time to harvest some wind and sun. uk should be able to reach 30% from wind in no time at all, like within 2-3 years if they really want it. im actually stunned at how small uk renewables are. also the uk has got to invest more into thermal insulation. we´re paying 100€ for the two of us in a 75m2 flat btw. so we´re not getting off cheap anyway, but this is roughly what we´ve been paying for many years now. selling musical equpiment is really fucked though :( |

100€ lekky that is. |

Yes to be told your electricity bill is increasing by 500% a month is brown trouser time, i was expecting maybe 3 times at most but this is beyond a piss take. |

im really scared about the upcoming gas bill. usually we each have about 100€ to put away in savings each month, so doubling the heating will be tough to make rent. so far the government gives its all to pay for it. my wife and me got paid 450€ each in advance to compensate for upcoming bills and there is talk about fixing the price too. we got paid twice because we´re on social benefits and got the money from a programme for working people aswell. lucky! we´re trying to save gas & electricity all the time btw, because its cash. so we use all the tricks in the book including showering but every other day, but there is only so much you can do and not turning up the radiator will result in a cold and mold. |

yes it feels like some sort of time period that you read about in History class, naively never thought i would experience it myself! I just hope we are able to eat and drink! Can't really see the light at the end of the tunnel at the moment, fortunately i'm not depressed but i think some people are really going to top themselves with the way things are going |
||||||||

hope it settles down less than that soon |

oh yeah, i constantly get reminded of all the parallels to the 1920s and how that turned out. depression, plague, inflation, fascist governments, invasions, ww2. mostyl i feel we learned our lessons and we´re really doing our best to dodge every bullet so far, but at the same time it feels like reading about the road to ww3. |

my instruments are just toys really, not a big deal to sell them.thats what im telling myself lol. we're living in the world, there will be areas that are chaotic and areas that are peaceful and prosperous. history has always been that way. it's looking like usa and europe will be dark and cold. beat the trend, move abroad, away from the potential chaos:-) i know thats not suitable for everyone. |

|

Yeah had exactly the same thoughts, the parallels are uncanny |

I can weather the storm i reckon, like some straggly sheep out on the moors in a thunderstorm, might do me good to use the PC less, well thats what im telling myself! |

Yes its gone full whacko the last couple of decades, totally fucking bonkers, the UK has collectively lost its mind. |

update: got new prices for next year. 40 ct per kwh, before it was 30 and 27cts in new year and summer. apparently this is the highest they will be able to go because the government put a hold on it. |
