The Conservatives have been in power for 11 years and still don't seem able to run the country, instead we stagger from crisis to crisis. I don't want to hear "well, Labour would be worse", Labour are not in power, the Tories are.
What would make sense is for the party in power to talk to the opposition and come up with a coherent plan looking 10/15 years ahead which they agree on and can't change without both sides agreeing if there's a change in government. What we get instead is jobs for Conservative friends and off-the-books meetings between ministers and Party donors.

Most of the Tory crisis to crisis have been of their own doing, and lining their own pockets (that of friends).
This energy policy is another one string in the bow for them. And its the public who will inevitably pick up the bill again. More companies will follow suit inevitably and you'll be stuck with limited options again, and high costs.
