There has been quite a bit of political discussion relating to energy supplies and prices lately, for example:
"Ramping up North Sea oil and gas is not a short-term solution to Europe's reliance on Russian supplies, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said.":

"Mr Johnson said the UK was looking at using more domestic energy resources. ...
The PM made comments at a Downing Street news conference on Monday after Tory MPs urged him to increase UK gas production and rethink his climate policies over energy cost and supply fears.
Nearly 40 MPs have called for an end to a UK ban on fracking, a controversial method of shale gas mining. ...
Meanwhile some MPs from a Conservative group known as the Net Zero Scrutiny Group (NZSG) have been pushing for a rethink of the UK's net-zero policy.
It commits the UK to a legally binding target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Led by Tory MP Craig Mackinlay, the NZSG has warned of political consequences for Mr Johnson at the next election, should he stand by the policy.
The fracking letter to the prime minister was organised by Mr Mackinlay and former Brexit minister Steve Baker.
The letter came as Nigel Farage, the former Ukip and Brexit Party leader, announced the launch of a campaign to push for a Brexit-style referendum on the UK's net-zero target.":

Although not to everybody's taste, Farage has proved to be an effective campainer in the past, according to it's website, 'Vote Power, Not Poverty’ is a cross party, grassroots campaign made up of activists from different parties and from none.

Energy supply and prices to consumers seems to be a growing topic of debate, what do you think?
