So taxing the bastards is the answer, IMO:

"UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government will introduce a 25% windfall tax on oil and gas producer profits, while alleviating the pain of soaring household energy bills with a £15 billion (A$26.46 billion) package.This temporary windfall tax for oil and gas producers will bring the headline tax rate on any profits occurring after the 26 May from 40% to 65%. The tax will be removed after 31 December 2025.Meanwhile, the UK Government financial assistance package will benefit struggling households with a £400 (A$704) discount on their energy bill from October, with greater aid to be issued to the lowest income households."
