The state is.
The increase in energy prices, makes the installation of renewable energy systems with 15 year payback times, more compelling.
The higher the price of electricity, the more you can save per unit of renewable energy generated in the home, the more viable a renewable energy system installation becomes.
Or the quicker the payback time(currently 15 years on average for a 3500kWh system at £7,000 in the UK).
So the state is not too concerned with energy poverty, per se.
It is very concerned with forcing renewable energy onto the people.
So, the state creates a problem. Then the state creates a new problem to fix the one it just created. And woe betide any citizen who shines a bright light on this.
That is to say, you will find difficulty gaining or maintaining employment if you speak about it. And given this, anyone surrounding you will find it harder to remain around you.
How come? Because by creating yet another problem, the state either bails out, gives handouts, protection or other specially pleaded privileges, to any corporation, small business or homeowner who remains tight lipped and goes with the flow. Who wouldn't take the bribe? And what fool would be authentic about it?
