This is why I'm not personally all that bothered. I got a bucket and hot water in the heater. I'm also lucky and thankful to live in a country with a fantastic social security system, so if I can't afford electricity at all the state will help me out.
I don't think there's a chance I'll freeze or starve to death this winter, and that's a luxury many people don't have. Even if I have nothing, I'm still better off than 95% of the world.
