to think that I do NOT want to hear energy companies running adverts telling us to cut our carbon footprint and save on our energy bills

when they are clearly profiteering from the current energy crisis

Don't get me wrong, I am all for saving energy, but I'd rather here ideas from other sources that the companies who have just jacked all our bills up (mine went up 20% 4 months ago). Especially as a European commission has shown that rises are double in the UK than they have been in Europe?

FFS Gordon, grow a pair and windfall tax these greedy fat cats and use that tax to increase winter fuel payments to the elderly and vulnerable!!!!

YANBU - they can eff right off whilst most of the country is too scared to put their heating on because of the huge bills they will face.

The main polluters are heavy industry and manufacturing companies, not people in their homes.

They (and their shareholders) get richer with each energy price rise whilst the elderly and the poor freeze. It's just not right.

I will worry about my light bulbs when China and the USA cut their carbon footprint!!!!

Sidge · 06/11/2008 21:49

It's totally hypocritical isn't it?

And I would much rather my supplier reduced my bills than send me 2 bloody long life lightbulbs

BouncingTurtle · 06/11/2008 21:50

Yeah, I now have enough energy saving light bulbs to last me about 50 years!!

Funny how the prices always go up. The wholesale price of gas have gone down but the savings have never been passed onto the consumer.

BouncingTurtle · 06/11/2008 21:57

S'ok Stewiegriffinsmum, I didn't take it that way

The prices are based on stock bought 1-3 months ago.
Funny how when the wholesale proice goes up they jack the prices to the consumer up straightaway, but when the wholesale price goes down, they don't exactly fall over themselves to drop the proices
