Fuel Poverty is a Scandal

I've said it before it is grossly unfair that the poorest in society have the most expensive fuel bills.

Don't believe me? Think about it.

• Most tariffs are geared at people who can afford to have big bills, the more you use the cheaper per unit it gets. 
• Also with the standing charge even if you used NOTHING you'd still have a bill to pay.
• All bills have 5% VAT, so the higher the price the more HMG gets
• Regardless of your income - you may be on benefits or a pension YOU pay VAT
• If you're on a pre-payment meter - you pay in advance and can't swap supplier.
• Prepayment meters are the dearest tariff
• The GREEN Tax - another 10-15% goes to GREEN energy - what's that? Paying big businesses millions to build Wind Turbines that only work a third of the time, the rest of the time they get paid even more! Unbelievable - check it out.
• The Big Green 'uns get paid even more.
• If you're in arrears you can't swap suppliers.
• Poorest people live in homes with the worst efficient heating/insulated homes.
• Poorest people often can't manage their heating.

Need I go on? Basically VAT and the Green Tax is a Robin Hood in reverse Tax, making the poorest pay the most so the Rich get richer.

agains Asserby Windfarm - new law for locals

New Pickles law means we get a say in the planning of new windfarms. This law starts next month so I hope it applies to EnergieKontor's application forAsserby? It hasn't gone to planning yet.

Energy Price Hike - what should Dave do?

Now we are being hit, just when the winter begins. Last winter was bad enough I guess our bills went up by around 15% because of the cold.

On my bill there is approximately 15% that is Tax. 5% is VAT the rest is the Social Payment! That is what they pay to the Windfarm Gold Miners.

OBSCENE. Pensioners and people on beneits are Taxed to make greedy landowners ever RICHER. Robbing the poor to make the rich richer,


Have I mentioned the MILLIONS that the Windfarm owners GENERATE in income?

LOOK

4 x Turbines producing 10MWh

Even at 30% efficiency over 25 years they GENERATE 
£61 million!!

Not to mention if they're in the wrong place and can't export their power the owners get even MORE in CONSTRAINT payments.

Appallingly obscene.

WE'RE Paying for this. Write to your MP to get it stopped.
