The Energy Minister, Chris Huhne thinks the consumer is significantly to blame for high energy prices.
85% of consumers can't be bothered to shop around for a better deal, he says.
The average family could save up to £300 a year just by changing supplier.
In other words, let the market set the price, and the most savvy people will benefit.
So what about people who don't have online access;
many of the more elderly and vulnerable people in our communities;
low income families where even if they got a better deal, energy is still so expensive the choice is between heat and food;
Oh – and what about the fact that the big 6 have all put prices up more than 10% and they control 99% of the market.
I suggest Chris Huhne shops around and gets enrolled in one of the following courses:
"Get Real – Towards a Basic Understanding of Social Realities"
OR
"Laissez Faire – the History of a Bad Idea for the Poor."
OR
"Making the Right Choice – Principles for Getting the Balance Right Between Heat and Food"
OR
"Let Justice Flow – and Alternative View of Energy Flow."
