The problem is this - even if the government get the windfall taxation, they will waste the money. They will pump a small % of it back to the needy, and spend the rest on wasteful pipe dreams.
The problem does not lie with these "successful" companies - it's the government's mis-management of finances. They simply like to try and take the heat off themselves with these proposals now & again.
If only to be fair - these energy companies should not raise prices any more than it is necessary to provide shareholders with a reasonable income, and for some re-investment.
I guess this time it's thanks to the Conservatives for privatising essential services, forcing them to become profit oriented and stripping them of social responsibility.
