Well they're not really saying anything clear. 'Average bills', 'up to', 'as much as'. The actual per unit price is available but that's bad but not nearly so exciting. Some of us might manage to work out that with careful budgeting and energy use our bills might not be quite as bad as the Media would have us believe.
It feels to me as if they got hooked on drama with Covid 'up to x0,000 deaths', 'so many new cases a day', 'could be as many as...' etc, and just want to keep the ooh aah factor going. The price of oil has dropped by about 30% since its recent peak, so although companies have had to buy for the upcoming months at the increased rate, things will improve eventually. Then the MSM will have to find some new 'crisis' to scare us and keep us tuning in. And they will.
That's not to say hard times aren't coming. We have to pay for the variations in fuel prices, our country's own lack of planning and not using our own oil and gas to reduce our dependence on imports. We have to pay for the destruction of business due to Covid and the extra money the government paid out when they stopped us earning. We have lived very comfortably, arguably beyond our means, for decades, with food prices low at the expense of producers, importing cheap labour, exporting our heavy industry, interest rates held artificially low, a badly run health service, huge and rising interest payments on government borrowing, etc and now a series of events have made those things harder to sustain. It would probably have been less painful if prices had risen gradually over that time, rather than all at once when the dominos fell over, but it is what it is. Politicians can tweak things and try to decrease the burden on some groups while not over-burdening others, but ultimately there's a bill to pay.
