1 week agoTories pledge to cut bills as energy price battle takes shape
Conservatives plan to abolish post-Brexit carbon pricing and end long-term renewable subsidies to reduce household energy bills.
The next Conservative Government will axe the carbon tax on electricity generation. When Ed Miliband blames gas for high energy bills, what he doesn't tell you is that over 30% of what we pay for gas power is not to pay for fuel, but to pay for a carbon tax that the Government chooses to impose. Now, we know that we'll need gas to keep the lights on for decades, so it just adds extra costs to our bills for no reason.
