#3  I can answer that question, b-a-r; EU regulations have a far greater impact.

Oil prices can (and will) come back down; EU regs NEVER do.

#1  "Soaring oil prices and EU regulations on carbon emissions are expected to result in a 40% hike in the price of electricity, and 25 % in price of gas."

Oh, that will do wonders for the economy, won't it? Let's rush right out and ratify the Kyoto treaty, shall we?
