Comment on Energy bills to tick lower this winter but will remain high
Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 2 years agoYes, 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.
