Big issue in the UK is the standing charge and how (thanks Ed Davey) that got raised and was a huge impact for all. Many caps learn towards an ideology of 4.2 children household's in many respects and see's those responsible in energy usage and general low usage household's bear the burden with high energy users in effect getting a cheaper deal on the back of those responsible low usage consumers (yes did raise with local MP at the time - Ed Davey and ignored, though not forgotten). How should this be fixed, well like taxation it should be scaled and a usage threshold per person in which you pay X amount and over that, you pay more for your fuel usage, so the more you use, the higher it gets that you pay and not sadly as we have, the reverse. Sorry but whole subject a bit of a personal issue when my local MP sends out election voting paraphernalia stating how he has saved households money on their fuel bills when the reality for me was the polar opposite and again, he ignored that. But I shall have my day soon upon this. Of course, no model is ideal, though when we see initiatives for solar and electric cars that learn towards those who can afford such items over those who can not and those that can not paying for such subsidies, you do feel the brunt of unfairness and why the rich get richer (not saying having solar or an electric car makes you a rich person, but for those who don't own their own house and rent or use public transport, relativity does become a factor)
