Given 30 years of technological innovation and "investment" (no laughing at the back) the expectation would be that one would outperform the other. Yet it's not the case. Energy costs are completely disassociated from the cost of production. Private industry cannot increase supply and react to market forces - therefore its not a market in any meaningful sense.
Why would we exclude worldwide experiences? I don't believe in British exceptionalism any more than you do with your attacks on our workers.
