What a turn off

In response to Michael Kelly’s article (Perspective, 26 September), Labour Party leader Ed Miliband’s proposed price- capping of energy suppliers may well be popular with voters but it is irrational and immoral ­economics.

Given that energy prices have already been raised by government taxes, forcing energy producers to work at a loss by means of price controls will simply force the most marginal companies out of business and reduce the supply of energy.
