People living in rural areas have been left behind by
government drives to make homes more energy efficient, charities have warned.

paying nearly 55% more for their fuel as a result. The charities have called on
ministers to establish new energy-efficiency initiatives to help people reduce
their energy consumption, particularly those in fuel poverty, who cannot afford
to heat their homes. Read more on the Observer website.
