Most countries have the same problems right now. Big jumps in cost of living, the need to reduce emissions. The problem is the solution. Dramatically reducing household energy use goes a long way towards fixing both problems. And it’s not inflationary, to make that investment. Smart governments would be subsidising this shift, right now. It would only take a handful of years. Everybody wins, and the savings would continue for decades. (Note: again these numbers were done when petrol was much cheaper, in reality many families are spending much more this amount per year just on petrol or diesel alone.)
