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.

Energy suppliers don’t generate electricity.

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

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.
