Ancient History - fact or fiction
Too many students (and professors) seem to loose their critical faculties when they get caught up in an exciting idea.
At one extreme the dogmatic insistence on theories that are printed in a text book, even when these ideas are refuted by science, technology and the evidence.
At the other extreme the belief in magical explanations that defy known science.
The following are exercises in explaining how things could have been done in the past.

I think it unlikely that Octopus Energy will fail in the UK. Octopus are a multinational company that also generate green energy themselves.
Customers from some of the small UK energy suppliers that have failed have been transferred to Octopus Energy.
Octopus Energy are also actively recruiting the skilled staff from these companies that have failed. This is a golden opportunity for Octopus to expand.
Once you are with Octopus Energy you can easily and quickly switch to one of their tarrifs that suit you.
