The government's energy policies are about bringing down electricity prices. The key component of what we announced today was the reliability guarantee, which forces big energy companies to contract reliable energy supply into the market, which keeps power prices down and keeps the lights on. That's what our policies are focused on. It's about taking the big companies to task on energy and electricity to make sure they do the right thing and to ensure that the big stick of legislation is there to ensure that those companies do the right thing.
