Does it say if it will hit people with solar panels? As they are technically electricity generators. I should shut up just in case I gave them an idea
Oh, here we go. The bribe to keep the voter base distracted from the illegal parties that Johnson got away with and everything else that is wrong.
They are needed, but the timing is obvious.
So this is the reason they’ve been sitting on a windfall tax.
Just like they’ve held back the cut to the basic rate until 2024 when it’s election year.
*’Rishi Sunak considers imposing further rates increases on tax generators’*
*this just in – Rishi Sunak reprimanded for referring to the electorate as tax generators*
A windfall tax on oil companies would discourage investment apparently. So instead, they want to tax wind farms?
Since they just raised the electricity price cap in April this feels like indirect taxation of consumers
Idiot.
There’s a reason why a windfall tax on just oil and gas has scope – it’s because it’s our oil and gas and we already tax them more than the normal amount.
But on all electricity generators? Why? Why should windfarms be taxed for correctly betting on Britain needing a non-fossil fuel supply (especially in winter when wind farms shine)?
Energy companies do consider these sorts of risks before investing. If we don’t reward resilience then the next crisis will be worse because of a reduced incentive to supply in a crisis. Supplying energy in a global energy shortage is a higher value service, and should be rewarded, not punished.
what is a windfall tax
Cunt considers the prospect of toning down the cuntiness with no actual promise to tone down the cuntiness
Like when a petition gets enough signatures it’s “considered” for debate?
Are they making any money?
So that’s another energy bill price increase when they pass it on then.
