RE: UK Energy Crisis | Unplug your fridge?

in Threespeak2 years ago

It seems the Times had a piece on how having our houses cooler could be good for us. That seems like propaganda to me. They will be telling us we don't need fresh fruit and veg next.

I wonder if we will see people foraging for firewood. That could impact on wildlife. Desperate people will only care about staying warm.

Sort:  

Hahaha. The propaganda has begun. I heard in some parts of Europe that are hit quite hard (parts of Germany, Sweden, etc) some people have started illegally gathering firewood at night on restricted lands. I hope it never gets to that here.

I think we will see people taking desperate measures as it bites. @papilloncharity was just saying how they have frequent power cuts where he is. That could have more impact in the UK, especially in winter. Even if you have gas heating it needs the controls and pump to work.

Not looking good. I only have the option of gas heating. I better go buy some electric heaters just in case. At least one of those fan based ones. They're pretty cheap.
