[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8037845, member: 44728"] Fertiliser manufacturers, like all users of Gas energy, buy their gas early as a price stabilisation exercise. When CF sold all their gas to be used in their 2 UK factories at a huge profit in 2021, then paid out a huge dividend and stopped production, it very soon became obvious that every bit of the CO2 byproduct it created was vitally needed in other industries. The UK Government stepped in, ordering CF to restart fertilisers production, ONLY because it needed that CO2 byproduct. CF then said it couldn’t because it had no gas to use for the production. So the Government in effect gave them the gas to start production again. So in effect, the Government has already indirectly subsidised fertiliser. As Michael Caine famously said, “Not a lot of people [The pubic] know that.” I cannot see the U.K. Government directly subsidising fertilisers to farmers, because it directly goes against Government Environmental (ELMS) policy. OR until affordable food becomes short, when Michael Caine will have to say “Not a lot of people KNEW that, but they bloody well do now!” [/QUOTE]
