Comment on Energy bills to tick lower this winter but will remain high
Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 1 year agoPeople were just not putting their heating on in the winter. It’s unhealthy at best, dangerous at worst and allows your home to get damp. I was honestly miserable last winter without heating.

You can thank the Tories for that. Other countries imposed a cost cap. UK, Netherlands and I think Belgium didn’t and used benefits to offset with differing levels of effectiveness.

Yes, we have the highest energy bills in the world due to our government and it has put people into fuel poverty. Saying it’s purely stopping people from sitting at home in 24°C heat is naive.

Net highest? Got a source for that?
I didn’t say it’s purely doing that. I merely stated that the only thing that has made people change their behaviour during a climate crisis is the price going up.

Yeah and people would lose weight if we had famine. It’s hardly a silver lining.
