Until someone brave enough in power is prepared to take on these insidious companies and put the public first for once but then again politicians will think about themselves before they ever get around to helping the consumer.

One thing I've noticed is energy companies now charge an "early termination fee" if you want to switch away to another company to soon.

Wish I lived nearer the cost, then I'd stick up a vertical turbine on the roof and use the power from that.

And what would you do when the wind is too calm or too strong?

I'm surprised that the energy companies don't try to bring in fixed term contracts like mobile phones and tv subscriptions

I'm sure I'm on 12 month contracts for the discount deals I've got with EDF and British gas.
