Sadly the New Economics Foundation's proposal for an energy allowance to UK households to deal with energy poverty, is another example of a well-meaning solution that will merely offer a form of corporate welfare (like in-work benefits) & support continued profiteering among fossil fuel firms.

Much better to first end the link with gas prices in energy pricing (see recent posts here), and then explore support for those still suffering fuel poverty!
