I'm starting to sound like a stuck record, but according to the FT today, natural gas is almost back to the price it was 12 months ago, and crude oil is now hovering at the 90ish dollar per barrel mark.

Any change that OFGEN will step in and ask why our gas and electricity prices haven't followed these commodities on their downward spiral? 

The generating companies made such a big deal about global markets and prices linked to oil costs when putting prices up- well in that case isn't it about time we saw some reductions?

Seems the Government can only deal with one issue at a time...and clearly bailing out banks is far more important that calling a halt to energy companies highway robbery

Maybe now Gordon's found an appetite for nationalising things, he could do the same to the power companies?  I'm not holding my breath...
