UK energy production/usage figures have been decreasing since about 2005[1]. It's not a sign of energy poverty (aside for the past year I suppose).

- roenxi 4y agoI don't follow why you think that argument is enough. Surely a persistent, long term trend of worsening energy availability would be exactly the sign of energy poverty? There are only two possible signs of energy poverty - a trend of stable low numbers and a trend of dropping numbers! You might disagree for great reasons, I'm just stumped by what you wrote.
