  • The whole energy crisis thing

I like that reality was like “yo what if the Running Man was like boring?”

    8 days later

    Ireland and Scotland are over 50% it’s really helping lol.

    My electric is going up to 53p per kwh on the 7th, I’ve bought as much as I can afford of the old rate of 40p per kwh.

    I’ll tell you something for nothing, if the trillions being “saved by the world” are at the expense of the energy firms, it ain’t happening

      I’ve already placed the orders 🥺

      I love how at no point in this thread anyone is like “but guys - shouldn’t we be trying to live more sustainably anyway? shouldn’t the floods in Pakistan and the melting of the ice worry all of us? What about Cop26, lads? What about the penguins?”

      Nope. It’s just “bent politicians, tax the rich, I want more, more, more”

        C_J Also China is prob pumping out more Co2 per hour than all individual households can save over a year. How do you compete with that?

          I think most people try to be more sustainable, but realistically there limits to what we can achieve with what we have at our disposal (great word to use here lol)

          The biggest way we can be more sustainable comes with clean(er) energy, but the big boys won’t be looking at this seriously until they’ve rinsed every natural resource from the planet first.

          When we get cleaner energy, from wind farms etc. we know it is much cheaper to be produced as we have already paid for the materials, plants etc. through our green taxes. Will it be given to us cheaper? Will it fuck.

          I moved to Bulb a year ago from Eon as I wanted to move to a completely renewable company. I could have fixed in with Eon for 2 years at roughly the same price I had been paying at the time (£115 a month). Bulb only have one tariff - a variable tariff - my bills are now £280 a month and will be going up further in October.

          I have just taken this from the Bulb webpage:
          “Every year, like all suppliers, we report on the amount of electricity we’ve purchased from which source: coal, gas, nuclear and renewables. For Bulb, it’s simple: 100% of our electricity comes from renewable sources like solar, wind and hydro.”

          Yet it costs the same as the energy that comes from non-renewable sources. A scam.

            Old-Dutch
            Fuck them off and write them
            a snotty letter explaining why.

            That’ll teach them!

            Massive cunts trick in all seriousness

            Starting to think about weapons for the Revolution.

            Current thinking is one of those shotguns that looks like a trumpet and one of those things that’s basically a meat-cleaver on a long stick
