well yes, if you mean the generally socialist attitude towards energy
and the attempts to bring it totally under government control.

Far far better to leave it all to market forces and natural competition,
as now. Which is why our energy prices are so reasonable.

Naturally enough, businesses are walking away from investment where
viability, let alone profitability, is at the whim of a government whose
policies are based on ideology and knee jerk political advantage.

Of course. They are waiting around for the biggest handout they can winkle
out of whatever government. As usual. Why would they risk any of their
money when they will be given it anyway?
