Summary

"Since its publication in the early 1990s, Brenda Boardman's Fuel Poverty has been the reference text for those wishing to learn about this complex subject. In this, its successor, she turns a critical eye to the new millennium and finds that the situation, while now more widely recognized, is far from having improved. The book begins by discussing the political awakening to the issue of fuel poverty (sometimes called energy poverty) and exploring just who constitute the fuel poor. It examines the factors that contribute to fuel poverty-low incomes, high fuel prices and poor quality housing - and evaluates the policies that have been employed to help reduce the problem. The latter part presents a detailed set of proposals towards long-term improvements in the housing stock that must be employed if we are to avoid a dire situation continuing to get worse. Based on detailed analysis of the situation in the UK, the growth of fuel poverty in other countries and the new focus in European policy, this timely book provides important lessons for those who now have to produce policies to tackle the issues."--Jacket.
