Giving the green light to this tells us a lot about Ofgem as a regulator. Let's see how this plays out.

Did y'all already fuck up your water like this?

As long as humanly possible, they're not getting a penny out of me.

I say "as long as humanly possible", because they have the money to supply electricity at a loss for several years, to undercut and then buy out all the other energy suppliers... but I'm hopeful that won't happen.

Ah, welcome to a future of musk trying to deregulate our electricity market.

I give it a couple weeks after they start sure plying electricity for them to turn it off for critical infrastructure because someone over there hurt wittwe Ewons feewings by correctly calling him a fascist, using his platform.

Energy suppliers don’t generate electricity.
