A potential few billion is better than nothing and I'm sure they minimise the tax they pay here. I can't imagine they would pull out of the UK market to avoid a windfall tax and they would still be doing okay. They can make extra profit if the market prices go up as it may not mean extra costs to them. I would argue that fossil fuels should have higher taxes anyway to discourage use of them. Use the money to invest in renewables, insulation etc.

I don't disagree with taxing large corporates more, my point was really this probably isn't going to happen!
Just wait for another U-turn :)
