This is terrible:, 'Around 800,000 households – almost 1 in 3 – in Scotland are estimated to be in fuel poverty, ' http://www.eas.org.uk/page.php?id=1664 (http://www.eas.org.uk/page.php?id=1664)
And we're going to be faced with this!? :mad:
Government climate change targets will put £500 on the average family's fuel bill within four years, a study warns today.
The report warns that the political elite's obsession with renewable energy will damage Britain's competitiveness without necessarily doing anything to tackle climate change.
It suggests that the Coalition's drive to cut greenhouse gases will add £10billion to fuel bills by 2015 - equal to almost £500 per household. Dr Richard Wellings, of the Institute of Economic Affairs, says: ‘It is clear the Government’s current plans will impose severe burdens on both business and households yet will fail to make a significant difference to the climate.’
