I'm sure it's not that much different in other parts of the world ever since the recession took hold? but here in Ireland there are people who will either have to get into further debt to heat their homes this winter, or else go without and tough out the cold.
The largest domestic Gas company here in Ireland applied to the regulator commission for permission to impose a 7.5% increase on domestic gas. The commission said no! you can't do that but you can have an 8.5% increase :whacko:
