The point you raise is a good one, considering that recent figures have shown that energy companies are making $30 million an hour. So far, they have made $23 billion from what they call a "war windfall", which is a disgusting statement in itself, yet the British Government still refuse to tax those profits. That is where the focus needs to be, and that is where the levers are to do it.
