15.02.2021 The extreme unfairness of Danish, energy poverty.

 ~~

 Tuesday 15th 41F, mild and grey with a cold wind. Saw a couple of geese go over and come straight back again!

 The Danish government is handing out taxpayer's money to subsidize those affected by gas price increases. As predicted, Pootin has weaponized gas by rationing supplies.

Now we come to the real unfairness. Being presented with massively increased gas prices, for their central heating, caused many gas users to fire up their wood stoves. So suddenly, those, for whom a wood stove is their only form of heating, cannot obtain their vital fuel!

 When it is in stock, the prices have risen dramatically. The question is: Will the really poor, for whom wood fuel is their only form of heating, also be generously compensated? Central heating is still a luxury for many of the impoverished and very unequal in Denmark. 

Gas central heating is CO2 heavy and fills the pockets of Pootin and his henchmen. So compensation for increased prices for gas is actively encouraging climate change and Pootin's war machine. No wonder the right wing parties are pushing for extreme generosity with the gas compensation payments!

 Meanwhile, back at Chez Hovel: Last year we paid 100Kr for five 10kg bags of compressed wood chip briquettes. It was even six bags per 100Kr at one time. [About £11GBP] Today, the same outlet wants 33 Kroner per bag. A 65% increase! 

That is quite a price hike! I bet their huge stock is leftovers from last year. So the increased pricing "due to increased demand from gas consumers" is pure profit! Where do I queue for my taxpayer handout?  Answer: You don't. You aren't rich enough!

Danish proverb: "They have no wood for their stoves? Then let them have subsidized, gas central heating!" 😜

What do you call it when the police break up a "freedom from vaccines" convoy?
Refuse disposal!  😂
