Synopsis
The government is due to decide very soon whether to adopt “zonal pricing” - i.e. whether people should pay different amounts for their energy depending on whereabouts in the country they live. All indications are that Downing Street will reject the idea but it's yet to be confirmed. Will Bain looks at the pros and cons of zonal pricing. Also, Elon Musk is left looking for a new CEO for his social media platform X as Linda Yaccarino resigns. And chipmaker Nvidia becomes the first company ever to notch up a $4 trillion stock market valuation.
