The Cost Of L̶i̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ Greed Crisis

Описание: We are living through sky rocketting levels of inflation, ever-increasing food bills and as we’ll discuss in this video, increasing energy prices. The UK is a member of G7, with the 6th highest GDP in the world, yet millions are already forced to skip meals due to increasing levels of poverty; which is set to increase even further with the rise of wholesale energy prices. In this video, we will discuss the reason energy prices are increasing, why the measures being put in place by the UK government do not tackle the root cause of the problem, and what other countries are doing right to tackle rising wholesale energy prices.
