Snake oil?


Cue for a lot of muttering about energy used to boil kettles etc.,
but these NW electricity people aren't daft, they've done trials
showing savings to customer bills!


They surveyed customers to see if the had noticed any difference in
their electricity supply during the trials. Nothing to do with
individual customers bills.


´Nobody noticed the changes until they were given their bill and
suddenly found out they˙d been using less electricity,ˇ said Steve
Cox, the company˙s engineering director.
