So which other countries did any of that?
1) Where would the energy come from? Fracking?
2) What has any windfall tax got to do with energy generation or supply?
3) Germany looked to rely on wind power, and look how that turned out. Still need gas for heating.
4) The distribution companies aren't making much, if anything, in the way of profits, so how could they reduce their prices? The standing charge also funds when other energy supply companies fail, because they aren't making profits.
