is it time for the government to intervene?
I see that it has been announced today further energy increases across electricity and gas prices, some going up as much as over 10%.
So despite the last decade people looking at ways of cutting their energy requirements via energy saving devices and reducing consumption, with dwindling world resources, the annual energy costs for the consumer are more expensive now despite ensuring measures to reduce that consumption. Our little tiny island in the world is still used as an excuse to screw the British consumer by major companies, under the guise of future planning and development in the search of renewable energy.
I've not had my heating on once since last winter/spring so how much more do these energy companies want us to cut back? With the temperatures due to drop over the coming week, I wonder how many elderly suffer the same dilemma but may not be so resilient health wise, when faced with the options.
I always believed many years ago what the outcome would be if the Gas/Electric/Water companies were left to their own devices, their continued greed is now evident for everyone to see. Sorry how wrong am I, they are planning for the future of generations to come and the UK will continue to lead the way, yeah right.
