UK Prime Minister Truss Announces Energy Price Cap

British Prime Minister Liz Truss announced that energy bills will be frozen at no more than 2,500 pounds ($2,900) for the average household. The measure comes as part of a package that also includes her campaign promise of temporarily suspending green energy levies and, controversially, lifting the ban on fracking. But Labour has criticized her plan for putting the bill on working people, not oil and gas firms.
