Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Funny enough, the article mentions 54 billion of investment on the national grid is needed over the next 10 years, and hinkley point currently costs 31!

Also consider how much renewables that investment could buy; its not just 31billon of today money that will start to see some benefit 20 years after it was started.

No bonus for GBE CEO, but dividend payments are still allowed as well as share buy back.

That will teach them nothing. At the very least the water should be not for profits. Much better would be to nationalize them: a public monopoly is much preferred over a private one, as at least they are accountable to the pubic and are meant to work on their behalf.

Not exactly: as pointed above, in the UK the cost of electricity is set by the most expansive provider that is needed. Most of the time that is gas. So electricity cost is high because gas costs are high

That is how it works on the UK.

Awesome! Now do water

There is no action. These countries could stop sales of all weapons to Israel and at least slow done the genocide. Or they could support the ICJ and arrest netanyahu.

They do nothing but a weak public announcement.

Mhhh, I can't find what the actual import duties are. The closest I found was this article https://www.whatcar.com/news/chinese-car-tariffs-will-not-go-ahead-uk-government-confirms/n27198 that suggest there is none (unlike in the EU, where the rate is 35%).

BYD sell the dolphin for about 10k in China. So they could lower the price a lot more, and the current price reflects more strategy and marketing than production and import duties

Road degradation grows to the power of 4 with the weight of the vehicle: a car that weights 2 as much as another degrades the roads 16 times more. That seems to me like a good rule to guide vehicle taxing.
