A recent study found that between 78 million and 141 million people around the world could be pushed into extreme poverty by rising energy prices. More and more people worldwide have been experiencing poverty in the face of continually rising energy bills, other high consumer costs, and inflation across several countries.
The article suggests that a faster transition to Green energy would help the issue, when in fact the poor implementation and speed of the transition is a leading cause of the energy poverty

Energy prices will go up in April as planned, suggests Jeremy HuntENERGY prices will go up in April as planned as there isn’t enough cash to keep on paying bills forever, Jeremy Hunt suggested yesterday. The Chancellor slapped down calls to use billions of pounds… more joy for the working class from our so called government. Doe anyone working full time ever get anything from our so called leaders? We get f all Absolutely sick if it And usage will fall further , driving the price trough the floor . Like they're not high enough already RishiSunak needs to call an election.

Stool energy density is positively correlated to intestinal transit time and related to microbial enterotypes - MicrobiomeBackground It has been hypothesised that the gut microbiota causally affects obesity via its capacity to extract energy from the diet. Yet, evidence elucidating the role of particular human microbial community structures and determinants of microbiota-dependent energy harvest is lacking. Results Here, we investigated whether energy extraction from the diet in 85 overweight adults, estimated by dry stool energy density, was associated with intestinal transit time and variations in microbial community diversity and overall structure stratified as enterotypes. We hypothesised that a slower intestinal transit would allow for more energy extraction. However, opposite of what we expected, the stool energy density was positively associated with intestinal transit time. Stratifications into enterotypes showed that individuals with a Bacteroides enterotype (B-type) had significantly lower stool energy density, shorter intestinal transit times, and lower alpha-diversity compared to individuals with a Ruminococcaceae enterotype (R-type). The Prevotella (P-type) individuals appeared in between the B- and R-type. The differences in stool energy density between enterotypes were not explained by differences in habitual diet, intake of dietary fibre or faecal bacterial cell counts. However, the R-type individuals showed higher urinary and faecal levels of microbial-derived proteolytic metabolites compared to the B-type, suggesting increased colonic proteolysis in the R-type individuals. This could imply a less effective colonic energy extraction in the R-type individuals compared to the B-type individuals. Notably, the R-type had significantly lower body weight compared to the B-type. Conclusions Our findings suggest that gut microbial energy harvest is diversified among individuals by intestinal transit time and associated gut microbiome ecosystem variations. A better understanding of these associations could support the development of personalised nutrition and improved weight-lo
