Re: I've thought of this often
@ Ledswinger 40C for free home heating for low income families means they are not having to use costed services as much if at all. There has been free local house and water heating from power stations successfully for years outside of the UK, so efficient transfer systems do exist.
All they need do now is remove the standing charge for the meters and most homes would have a much lower heating bill. That they wouldn't have to live off charity anymore in the UK would also be a good thing.
On energy meters why are they allowed to charge forever, I have never had one break down during my life so they clearly last for decades and at whatever it is a month they charge they have had their return over and over again.
