I think that this is wishful thinking. Britain and Ireland are stuck in a position where the cost of anything that we actually need; be it fuel to get to work with or to heat our homes; is always as high as it can be because profits must be made by the Big Corporations and our government has so many ties to these corporations that it will not do anything to reduce the cost of utilities in this country. For example, our government signed up to the global agreement to reduce climate change and at the same time reduced or stopped the incentives to install solar panels and pursue wind and wave generated power sources while pushing ahead with carbon based fuel sources such as fracking and Chinese development of nuclear power plants on British soil. Iran is now allowed to supply the open market with oil and the general thoughts are that half a million barrels a day from Iran will be added to general production and theoretically, this should bring the cost of oil down even further. However, I very much doubt if we will see any reduction in the cost of petrol (gas) at the pumps in this country or Ireland.

This is what you get for having let your freedoms go to pot !
The US is the last bastion of freedom where market decides what goes(Broadly speaking....nothing is perfect)....once "liberalism" (socialism for those who still haven't grasped the concept) leads you....but as I said "nothing is perfect" .....the last free enterprise country in the world that I know of has to fight every day to maintain our freedom and it ain't easy ! :roll:
