Boris Johnson and money saving kettles.

My question, is it just a ridiculous analogy because there’s no such thing as an energy efficient kettle? 

Only behaviour change with people heating exactly the amount of water required rather than overfilling kettles will reduce energy consumption, people are just going to have to be told to be more frugal and be careful when  using appliance to ensure they are being energy efficient.

  • Okay, if you have an old kettle with an element stuck in the middle of the kettle and the element has to be completely covered with water, it may require a minimum fill of several cups of water, so a kettle like ours that  has the element lay flat in the base is more efficient when boiling one cup of water

    Any other energy saving kettle features?
