Less hot air and more action!

When, oh when, are our Governments going to do something about rising energy bills? Calton highlighted the issue 3 months ago and we don't seem to be any further forward, with new warnings today from the Chief of Ofgem about price rises. Domestic energy bills are crippling many families and forcing them into debt. Yes, steps are being taken to insulate homes and make them more energy-efficient but we also need to keep prices down, and the lights on, by sensible planning for the future, which probably includes new nuclear. Westminster seems at least to understand that, unlike Alex Salmond. Unfortunately, both Governments have sat on their hands for far too long, given that you can't build a power station in a day. Time for less hot air and more action guys!
