High gas prices are responsible for two-thirds of the rise in household electricity bills since before the global energy crisis, says the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC).
The new analysis, from one of the UK’s foremost research bodies on energy, flatly contradicts widespread media and political narratives that misleadingly seek to blame climate policies for high bills.
Slowakei klagt gegen EU-Importverbot für russisches Gas
Die EU will die Einfuhr von Gas aus Russland bis Ende 2027 stoppen. Die Slowakei ist dagegen - und stellt sich so wie Ungarn quer. Beide Länder wollen Klage vor dem Europäischen Gerichtshof einreichen.
European Union countries on Monday gave their final approval to the bloc's plan to ban Russian gas imports by late 2027, allowing it to pass into law.

"The government subsidies are simply huge: a nuclear tax is being levied on hard pressed consumers. What is the government thinking of? The fossil fuel industry, which has thrown its weight behind nuclear power, is of course delighted; all these decades of new construction without any electricity to show for it gives at least another decade or two of unabated burning gas"

It is only the #libertarian who says "Don't subsidize them at all. Let the people choose where to spend their own money; do not take it from them at gunpoint and then spend it "for their own good"".
Zusammen mit dem Bundeskartellamt veröffentlichen wir heute zum 20. Mal den Monitoringbericht zum #Energiemarkt in Deutschland. Die Liberalisierung des Marktes ist für alle Verbraucher spürbar: Während für Kunden früher oft nur ein #Strom- oder #Gas-Lieferant verfügbar war, konnten sie 2024 bereits zwischen 139 Strom- und 108 Gasanbietern wählen.
