The war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have focused attention on skyrocketing energy prices, leading to demands to encourage more output from the North Sea and causing travel chaos in Ireland. But bills were already high before this happened. This discussion with three experts, recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 at Church House in London, explains why - war or no war - we're all paying too much for energy. ORIGINAL FESTIVAL INTRODUCTION Heating or eating? That has become a burning question for many people. From struggling households to steel works and factories, energy prices remain a hot topic. Ed Miliband's assurance that bills would fall by £300 per year looks wildly optimistic. The cost of energy bills became a major political issue when a combination of a post-pandemic resurgence of the world economy and war in Ukraine sent the price of energy in general, and natural gas in particular, shooting up. Prices have come down a lot since then, but remain higher than before. The Ofgem energy price cap for a ‘typical household' increased from £1,137 per year in January 2019 to £1,720 in July 2025 – a rise of over 50 per cent. Supporters of renewable energy argue that the UK is still at the mercy of global prices for gas because ‘gas sets the price' in the energy market, thanks to the way the ‘merit order' works for wholesale energy prices: the most expensive form of energy that is used sets the price for everything. Generally, that is gas. Get rid of fossil fuels, we are told, and we would have lower prices and less exposure to world markets. However, critics point out that the wholesale price is only part of the story. The retail price of energy includes a variety of subsidies for renewable energy that mean the actual price renewable producers receive is much higher. If renewables are really as cheap as their proponents claim, why do they need to be subsidised and why do countries that use a lot of renewables also have the highest energy bills? Will prices rise further as we use even more renewables? And if energy security is so important, why would we want to rely on intermittent energy sources like wind and solar? In this session, energy experts will explain how our energy bills remain so high and what the consequences are for household finances and the wider economy.

When it comes to keeping our homes warm nearly all of us rely on just a handful of big energy suppliers. And during the winter, especially with the cold temperatures, we rely on those suppliers to do their job. When they don't customers can firstly complain to their supplier but, if they're still not happy, they can take their complaint to something called the Energy Ombudsman. It's a free, impartial service and gets thousands of complaints every year. In most cases, when the ombudsman makes a decision, that decision is followed to the letter, quickly, by suppliers. But in some cases that doesn't happen - we investigate one listener's battle over a £1,700 bill.HMRC has told MPs it's going to take more care in how it handles its effort to crack down on fraud and error, after a mistake which led to thousands of families wrongly losing their Child Benefit.It was the Scottish government's Budget this week and there were quite a few changes promised for people's pockets, we'll round up the details.And, there's a huge amount to think about when buying a home, from sorting the mortgage to getting quotes for removal companies, but one thing you might not be expecting is that your new home might come with rules telling you what you can and cannot do with it.

Why is a deregulated state like Illinois suddenly embracing central planning? In this episode, I talk with Kady McFadden and John Delurey about the state's decision to empower its utility commission to directly procure clean energy. We discuss why capacity markets are too slow for the current environment and their strategy of aggressively framing renewables and storage not just as green, but as the only “fast and cheap” way to protect ratepayers from price spikes.

(The Center Square) – Illinois lawmakers have passed wide-ranging energy legislation, but opponents say it will lead to higher electricity bills. Senate Bill 25, also known as The Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA), passed the state Senate by a vote of 37-22 Thursday night after the House advanced it Wednesday. Sen. Steve Stadelman, D-Rockford, said a new line item would be added to Illinois consumers' electric bills in 2030. “That line item will be immediately offset, because that's the same date that the battery storage providers will start providing extra capacity, providing power to the grid,” Stadelman said.

As officials in Missouri and St. Louis try to attract data center proposals, advocates and academics are raising the alarm about the effects such centers may have on utilities. Energy policy expert Ari Peskoe shares how the data center boom is changing the utility landscape, why everyday consumers may be left footing the bill for big tech's use of electricity, and what regulators and lawmakers can do to protect the public.

In this episode, we're joined by Associate Professor Sharna Jamadar, a cognitive neuroscientist at Monash University, to explore how the brain uses energy, and how that changes across the lifespan. Did you know that a 10-year-old's brain uses over 50% of the body's total energy, compared to just 20% in adults? We dive into why younger brains work harder, the role of synaptic pruning and proliferation, and how the brain's organisation impacts cognitive efficiency. We also touch on the importance of glucose metabolism and its connection to age-related disorders like Alzheimer's. A fascinating look at the energy demands of our most complex organ!

An Ohio lawmaker wants to create an energy peak demand program.

Data centers this, data centers that. It seems just about everyone has something to say about the new tech infrastructure that's popping up across the nation and here in Dane County. Data centers are major energy and water consumers (to put it lightly) but the new tech facilities are promising job creation and other economic benefits to the communities they're in. But what does it take to actually power one of these facilities and will everyday consumers end up footing the bills? Today, host Bianca Martin talks to executive director of the Citizens Utility Board, Tom Content, to find out just what happens when data centers come to town.

In this week's episode of Energy Transition Today, we unpack a turbulent period for offshore wind and renewable energy policy across the world.We begin with Orsted's plan to raise nearly €8 billion to fund its US offshore wind projects after investor pullback and a 30% share price drop, as the company signals plans to scale back in the US.In Estonia, Sumitomo has withdrawn from a joint offshore wind venture in Estonia, citing unclear government support, which casts uncertainty over the project's future.The Dutch government has also reshaped the 2 GW IJmuiden Ver Beta project, delaying its green hydrogen phase and splitting delivery into two stages.There's better news from Romania, where the latest CfD auction awarded 2.75GW of onshore wind and solar with 15-year support.But in Poland, a presidential veto threat could block reforms to ease onshore wind restrictions.We close with France's ongoing delay to its multi-annual energy program, which is stalling major offshore auctions.Across the board, renewable investment is increasingly caught in political crossfire, with shifting policies and investor caution shaping the sector's trajectory.Hosted by:Maya Chavvakula – Head of NewsMathilde Dorbessan – ReporterDan Burge – Commercial Reports LeadReach out to us at: podcasts@inspiratia.comFind all of our latest news and analysis by subscribing to inspiratiaListen to all our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other providers.Music credit: NDA/Show You instrumental/Tribe of NoiseSend us a textReach out to us at: podcasts@inspiratia.comFind all of our latest news and analysis by subscribing to inspiratiaListen to all our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other providers.

Your gut microbes don't just digest food, they can power you. In this episode, we uncover a hidden energy stream: short-chain fatty acids produced when microbes ferment plant fibers, potentially supplying anywhere from 2% to 10% of your daily calories. A new Cell study quantifies this microbial contribution with a unique level of precision, revealing how dietary choices drives the yield. We look at the mechanisms behind this energy exchange, , and show why increasing fiber intake is one of the most potent, underappreciated tools for improving metabolic health immune function, disease resistance, etc. We can now say it also contributes to energy flux.00:00 Introduction: The Hidden Fuel Source00:13 The Role of Gut Microbes in Energy Production01:16 How Gut Microbes Transform Fiber into Energy02:49 Measuring Microbial Energy Contribution04:51 Impact of Diet on Microbial Energy Harvest06:32 Significance of Microbial Fermentation07:37 Implications for Human Health and Diet09:19 Conclusion: Feeding Your Microbial PartnersPMID: 40744013Support the show
