Each of the measures I have outlined can be carried out without any risk to the householder or the home. These measures, the low-hanging fruit, are not being carried out in those homes. The reality is that there are people in this country who are choosing between eating and heating. They have waited for two winters for works to be carried out on their homes only for the State to tell them that we are going to do nothing at all for them. At the very minimum, why could the SEAI not work with EnergyCloud? An installation process of one hour would at least allow these people to get a free tank of hot water when renewable electricity is not being used, especially at night. There are basic measures that can be carried out for these people and these families but we are not prepared to do that. Why not?
