Fortunately this winter was fairly mild thus far, unlike the situation in the US/Can with its severe weather warnings and deaths. And maybe more people are actually looking into how much energy they use (or wasted) in their households? I mean, we should not keep a 20C+ inside temperature if we do not strictly have to. On a last note before I end this comment, they were mostly populists (e.g. Geert Wilders) who were saying folks would “freeze to death”.
