Because of all the green levies being forced upon us by the government.
Well if they have reduced these levies and all it had saved us is £50 per year (less than a pound a week), either there are a ridiculous amount of levies applied or these energy companies are pulling a fast one.

 
People seem to think that it is somehow wrong that these businesses make profit. It it not the nature of business you do as well as you can?

 
Go into a reasonable sized town and drive around the petrol stations. They all gravitate to the same figure. The energy companies prices are freely available online, would we not expect them all to be similar?

 
The Green Levies  only amount to around £10 per house, big red herring from the big 6.

What the article doesn't include is the real cost of any of the technologies, like 3000 year half life of nuclear waste, acid rain, changing climate causing flood etc etc

 
Electricity companies and the like, should not be making "profits" they should be state owned and run for the benefit of the nation. The conservative "party of business experts" decided it would be a good idea to sell them to the foreigners, which is why EDF [French state owned] charge TWICE as much a kWh here, as they do back in france. Speaking of which; Why does it cost £6.20 to cross the french owned [yep, they sold the roads too] Severn bridge, but only about £1.25 or whatever it is now to cross the dartford one....

john..

 
I once read it was Cows that were responsible for destroying the ozone layer and causing all this climate change.

All this green talk its all rubbish, it still all about money.
