Having already de-coupled from oil prices, they should logically de-couple from electricity, too - though for different reasons<br /><br />(the most recent price-hike, announced by E.on this month, was for 9% on the leccy but only 3% on their gas) <br /><br /><b>budgie</b> - Huhne is a particularly clear case of backing off long-held views in favour of political advancement: we know he has no time for nukes, but is gearing up to subsidise them because he was told to. As indicated in the post, I reckon he doesn't swallow the OBR line on oil prices. (Funnily enough, though, I do - more or less - see 2011 predictions)<br /><br />and I know for certain, he sees the possibility of gas-prices staying relatively lowNick Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670594203660051701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-49593614574603318372011-01-19T10:13:56.670+00:002011-01-19T10:13:56.670+00:00You can fisk the Huhne all you like, ND.
