Of course it had nothing to do with the more-than-doubling of the
prices of coal, oil and gas, and the punitive levy on fossil-fuelled
electricity generation to subsidise the ridiculously high costs of
electricity generated from wind farms. No, it was all based on sales
of low energy light bulbs.

What utter nonsense. ;-)
