> The UK has ludicrously high energy prices because of regulatory capture by the fossil fuel lobby.
I can't really agree with that. It's true the UK's energy (surely "power"?)-mix is depressingly natural-gas heavy, but I don't believe that's not due to regulatory capture: it's because natural-gas plants are what get approval to be built because 15 years ago no-one in the Lib/Tory-pact wanted to sign-off on new nuclear.
*typo, should read "...but I don't believe that's due to regulatory capture".
Unfortunately I'm past the edit time window, bah.
