Does anyone know about the Fuel Poverty Action Group?

This is them www.fuelpovertyaction.org.uk/about-us/

There was a lady on Sky News this morning talking about them; some of the ideas seemed very sensible. It seems to have been a group of people, some in fuel poverty themselves, who got together to form the group. The lovely lady was saying they were now getting offers of technical help to crunch numbers for them.

One of the things she suggested was that the Standing Charge - which you have to pay even if you have switched everything off - should come with a basic amount of energy so you can be warm, have some lights on and run a fridge. That seemed to make a lot of sense.

She also said they thought that rather than energy getting cheaper as you use more, it should start at its cheapest and get more expensive. There are green arguments for that as well as fuel poverty ones.
