Hutton: Era of cheap energy is over
Updated on 28 August 2008
Hard-pressed consumers facing higher gas and electricity bills have been warned that the era of cheap energy is over.
Business Secretary John Hutton said there was "genuine concern" about the difficulties for families faced with soaring heating bills this winter, adding that the Government was looking at what extra support it could provide.
But he warned against creating a climate that would make it harder for the UK to attract new investment for nuclear power, renewables and clean coal technology.
