Shifting taxes to gas is the obvious answer...

No it isnt, because that's a political nightmare. 

The politically convenient decision which has (at least in part) caused the electricity/gas ratio to ramp steadily from 2.5:1 in 2011 to 4:1 is unfortunately a barb.  Reversing it now will result in an absolute howl from the 'stupid net zero' lobby and pensioners paraded by the media that supports that particular  lobby telling us they are freezing as a consequence.  The only politically possible option so far as I can see is now to load it onto general taxation.


4kW peak of solar PV since 2011; EV and a 1930s house which has been partially renovated to improve its efficiency. 7kW Vaillant heat pump.
