If you have no time because you always work. If they have outsourced costs onto you. If you are always physically worn out. If your body suffers from the graft and the grind. If you have to break your back to earn your day of leasure....then you are being vampired by someone.

Energy poverty limits millions of children’s ability to study after dark.
Our latest free article highlights how SolarBuddy is helping change that.

Map of waterways between the suez canal, Bab al-Mandab, and Straight of Hormuz. It shows where Iran will be closing Straight of Hormuz and Houthis in Yemen closing Bab al-Mandab. It has red lines showing how ships from around the world pass those two points to get supplies to the world.
Fertilizer also comes through the Straights.
I say straightS because it is not just the Straight of Hormuz. Houthis are threatening to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, further complicating access to oil, products, and fertilizer.
What will the world do when they are thrust into #energypoverty.

This paper is basically what my PhD thesis would aim for were I an engineer or #energysystems modeller.I'm using same datasets, similar(though far less robust 🙈) analysis on #solarPV and #energypoverty. Glad I can just cite this now and focus on underlying sociological basis 😂

A reality check on energy poverty.
In India, running a 1-kW AC for just 44 minutes consumes as much electricity as the average person uses in an entire day.

Today in Brussels we attend the Conference Helping vulnerable people in the clean transition: the role of the #SocialClimateFund. This fund must pay special attention to vulnerable groups such as #RomaEU, overrepresented in #energypoverty.
The Energy Poverty Advisory Hub (#EPAH) has launched a new call offering free technical assistance to municipalities tackling #EnergyPoverty. Tailored expert support will help local authorities design and implement long-term, socially inclusive solutions.

Why it matters
In Hamilton, energy poverty is linked to higher risk of cold-related illness in winter, heat-related illness in summer, increased food insecurity, and greater health risks for seniors, children, and people with chronic conditions.

Why is it a Climate Justice Issue?
Climate change worsens energy poverty through more extreme cold and heat. Those who contribute the least to climate change often face the highest energy costs and have the fewest resources to adapt.
#EnergyPoverty #ClimateEquity
What is Energy Poverty?
It happens when households must spend a large share of income on heating, electricity, or cooling — leaving less for food, rent, or medication. It most affects low-income households, renters, seniors, and newcomers.
#EnergyPoverty #ClimateEquity
Energy poverty means struggling to afford basic energy needs like heating and electricity — and it affects many households here in Hamilton and Burlington.
It’s not just about high bills, it’s about health, housing, and climate equity.
