This is quite ironic, isn't it.

For years the UK government has been nagging us to turn off everything when it's not in use because "even that little red LED results in lots of wasted electricity".

Now they're encouraging us to buy electric cars that typically charge at 7.4kW overnight.

They seem to have forgotten about nagging.

I'm told we now have the most expensive energy in the world.
