Paid not to consume electricity...

Looks like the scheme is going forward 

Has anyone heard yet the details of how it will work? ... as (even with a smart meter) they can't measure what you don't use so presumably will try to compare with some kind of "normal" - any idea what that "normal" is likely to be? An average across all customers - or what you actually used the same day the previous week or something like?  I'm just wondering if it might allow the unscrupulous to inflate their usage at certain times to claim the extra money at others...

  • I wonder how many people realise the ridiculous situation we are now saddled with? Our system has worked beautifully for 100 years and then a pile of deluded idiots come along and break it completely.

    Yes, but we don't have control over Putin and his cronies - the current crisis being primarily driven by the world market price of fossil fuels - the immediate problem isn't lack of generating capacity but lack of affordable fuel. Surely far better to move to a system as far as reasonably practical that doesn't need fuel at all but can be supplied by our own natural and replaceable resources?

    This is correct.

    We have no control over Putin  And we need affordable fuel urgently. Unfortunately our ability to be self sufficient has be taken away. We have generations worth of fossil fuels under our feet.

    Also, unfortunately our gutless snowflake leaders are powerless to use our abundant energy sources, them having all been taken over by environmental lunatics who's ambitions are to destroy our society.
