Why have our fuel bills rocketed through the ceiling, I know people who have to choose between eating and heating.

Why has inflation shot up to 5% and they still don't pay us interest on our savings??????

Why???

Fuel is supply and demand, remember a year or so ago when it went into negative figures? We bought I think 90 million bucks worth and the storage would cost much more than that. But no mention of that now, surprise surprise.

Interest rates, well the smart money has had nothing to do with that since 2008. Unless you have to for some dodgy reason.

I though it had something to do with some agreement with 'somewhere further East' that can't 'be agreed upon' for the supply that is supposedly piped from there to Europe causing a shortage and prices to skyrocket...dunno

Something else happening in Spain is a shortage of materials. For instance, people who want made to measure windows and doors have to go on a waiting list of several months because the manufacturers can't get hold of the materials ...

Printing money boosts demand and industrial sabotage cripples supply.

That's the most plausible explanation I've heard yet , but how did it happen suddenly all over. I gotta feeling this is only the tip of the problem and we have more to come.

It's beginning to hurt,conversing

I can’t copy & paste , but if you’re really interested , you can search google.
But in the short context.
There is a higher demand for energy after the pandemic , coupled with a worldwide shortage of energy , which has caused prises to rise .

There's supposed to still be crude oil resources for another 50 years or so...
So the question is 'who' is causing the shortage already? confused

HMM seems a bit unlikely, these two events happened simultaneously , t's more likely to be greedy suppliers.

Fuel going up everywhere but it seems to be helped on its upward trajectory by going too green too soon and not making the right choices in achieving the green agenda... UKs problems are compounded by a certain nutnut
