Surest way to live a miserable life!
If you want to cut back on electricity then get rid of your TV and air conditioning and use solar panel for heating water and gas for cooking. You'll soon have very low electricity bills

What's the point of moaning about something you can do very little about?

CMan...............Unlike you I care about those less fortunate than myself........ I am not moaning about my own bills because I can afford to pay even if it doubles or trebles what it is today....... as for telling anyone to turn off their heating or cooking dont you realise just how ludicrous/nasty/stupid you sound ?

Surely he isn't saying that. He's just saying that gas is cheaper to cook on than electricity, and solar heated water is cheaper than electrically heated water, both of which are true, but I think that the real error there is that in order to get solar heated water you need to invest a lot of money that then will take a few years to repay.

Plus of course, the payback period can be very long.

Our electricity works out to around 60 euro bi-monthly, not bad?
Actually its appalling, we visit a week at a time every 8 weeks, the rest of the time the house is empty and the only thing running is the fridge/freezer unit.
We used to be able to tell our heavy usage periods when the bill was incorporated into the bank statements, nowadays all we see is the amount taken from the bank account, we don't have a bill at all, the company stopped supplying it, and neither do we have access to the suppliers website to check ( they don't have one!)

I'm not saying that it isn't worth it, just that it takes time to get it back as it were. Obviously a 2K system, which is what I saw quoted somewhere would take a LOT longer.

Reading back it seems that not many people are concerned at all....... preferring to waffle on about climate change etc etc.
This does nothing to ease the burden for the here and now.
Ive never met anyone who pays 40 euros every 2 months for their electricity.
I dont use bottled gas.
