Renewable energy is so fucking cheap....

But the rabbit hutch size mostly influences what you pay for heating. Unless you have aircon, I can't see how the size of your house makes a difference to your electricity bill.

Perhaps a large house with such a large electricity bill would be a good location for some solar panels and a battery? ;-)

When every room takes 8 bulbs to light...

Don't be silly. I am a true socialist

Yebbut an LED bulb takes roughly 2-4W, so that's 18-36W per room. Still not much.

Unless you believe no-one can better Mr Edison's finest incandescent lamps, and are using 50W GU10s everywhere?

True - a capitalist would be interested in the financial return.

Theo

Still have a lot of those yes.

Cant be arsed to replace them till they blow

I have found that most people that call themselves socialists are selfish money grabbers

And spend their time virtue signalling

Is it called Château Navet? ;-)

For heating a 5 bedroom house, cooking, lighting and doing 14,000 miles in my EV last year (charged at home), I paid under £1 a day (thanks to solar panels, EV tariff and home battery).

Obviously I’m doing something wrong.

Tim

yes. You and your renewable subsidies are why my bills are what they are.

Fascist cunt

No. As has been explained, your bills are so high because you use so much energy.

IME* it'd be trivial to better than half your electricity consumption. Unless you have outgoings that you're not sharing - heated pool for example.

Renewable subsidies are mainly (80%+) for offshore wind - not domestic solar. That's a separate discussion.

• of staying in a huge house with a lot of 'ambient' devices for a week.

You simply know nothing about my situation at all

Last month I used 458 units of electricity. More than usual because the Aga is off for the summer

Most people use 200+ units a day .

People with solar panels are paid 12p a unit for export. For electricity that is not worth 4p

And which costs about 19p a unit to balance with gas.

And EDF charge me

Day rate: 31.98p per kWh

Night rate: 14.62p per kWh

Standing charge :54.15p per day

And claim that is the cheapest tariff

Of course.

Not too bad - similar to someone I know who leaves halogen lights on 24/7. And I'd guess if you're doining a fair bit of daily roasting/baking it could easily add up to 15/day.

Month - yes.

Not sure of your point but that's nothing like what I get.

Yes, so you keep saying - without figures or a source. I can't just take your word on views and data that appears to be at least a decade out of date. This is what AI has to say:

The reason is because some idiots wants us to burn expensive fossil fuels rather than use renewable resources. Put Trump in the equation to further increase your bill.

I thought were a Trump supporter? And his policies, "drill baby drill"?

Unfortunately we don't have enough renewable energy such that gas prices still dictate the cost of generation.

The irony is that if gas generators were turned off due to renewable overcapacity then we might see competition amongst renewable resources and a substantial drop in your bill.

However polices, that you support, advocate the total dependency on gas.

Do be careful for what you wish for!

I'll think of you and thank you everytime I pay my electricity bill then

Yes, you antisocial wanker

I got something similar from the water company today. They're increasing my DD from £64.40 to £85+.

But an antisocial wanker who pays under market value for electricty.

Lucky you! My water DD went up in April from £87 to £117.

I loathe the Water Company’s pleas to ’save every drop’. It isn’t up to me to make up the shortfall in water supplies caused by the lack of investment in the decades since privatisation, especially now I’m being hit in the wallet to pay for the investors’ gravy train.

For years, I stuck with the rateable value billing, in order to avoid worrying about my volume of usage, but their upcoming increases finally got to me, so I switched to a water meter ... my DD dropped from £87.91 to £26.57

Because the rest of us pay over

You are just another wannabe greedy capitalist with their boots on the neck of the WurkingClars

If you think it would be any better if nationalised I have a bridge to sell you

GPO, BR, disasters when nationalised.
