My question was somewhat 'tongue in cheek' since its raining here and has been for what seems like days - so I'm bored not being able to work outside.
The article was somewhat interesting but I knew most of that already. BTW: didn't see Scottish Power mentioned in the article.
My comment about filtering out the non-green stuff was also a dig at the energy companies and suppliers marketing folks, but if my company wants a large increase I shall be querying the fact that they are a 100% renewable energy supplier and are one of the 'Big Six', so supposedly they should be somewhat immune from increased gas prices.
It also irritates me that many of the smaller companies are often refered to as energy suppliers when in fact they do no such thing. They mearly buy and sell someone elses stuff.
I don't see it mentioned much these days but there used to be a 6% surcharge on our bills to provide cash for green projects. Also the Highlands also had a small surcharge - I think it used to be about 2p a unit - just because we were the Highlands. I can't see if these still apply.
Oooh! I think it may have stopped raining - for a while anyway.
