UK: 200 million unable to pay energy bills as costs soar
February 2nd, 2024|101 Comments

Over 200 million in the UK will be unable to pay their energy bills this winter, and the government is suggesting they purchase green housing or renovate their homes to be climate change friendly.

In an article at CURRENT News, the British independent charity organization Citizens Advice warns that over 200 million people in the United Kingdom will be unable to pay their energy bills this winter. Thus, their electricity and gas supply will be cut off. The organization revealed that in 2023, 1.7 million people disconnected at least once a month, and 800,000 people went more than 24 hours without gas or electricity.”

The situation is exceptionally grave. “On a national level, energy debt has hit a record £2.9 billion as households struggle to make ends meet and pay their essential bills.” In other words, their energy prices are skyrocketing, and many people can either eat or stay warm. Some have to opt for one or the other some days.

A few more points to note on this situation:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

What's the big deal?  So, a bunch of people freeze to death to save the planet.  It's a small price to pay. :whistle:

??? Hopefully you're joking....70 Million people freezing to death is ok? As prices continues to soar and the push for going green continues across the globe more people will encounter extreme hardships.

I'm not making a joke of people freezing. I am pointing out that less than 70 million people live in the UK, :Not 200 million.
