To put this in context, latest price I could find for an industrial user of electricity in New York state (not the cheapest in nation) was $76. For my costs it is about $96. I am assuming the figures quoted by Oilprice are for the power alone and do not included services and delivery charges. If I am wrong, France will still be paying more then six times for a megawatt compared to what I pay including all taxes and fees and what not that you pay in New York. In France, year-ahead power prices surged as much as 13% on Friday alone, to $1,003 (1,000 euro) per megawatt-hour for the first time ever, per Bloomberg’s estimates. French power prices have now soared tenfold over the past year.

For 14 of the past 15 weeks, England and Wales have averaged around 1,000 extra deaths each week, none of which are due to Covid. If the current trajectory continues, the number of non-Covid excess deaths will soon outstrip deaths from the virus this year – and be even more deadly than the omicron wave.
