Significantly lowering indoors temperatures can have detrimental effects on health, particularly for elderly people. Also, electricity should be sufficiently accessible and cheap that I don't need to freeze my butt off in my home in order to pay the bills.

You're reading waay too much into my comment. I specifically said that there were exceptions and only said that you shouldn't heat up to t-shirt temperatures.

I suppose it's not you I'm annoyed with actually. It just rubbed me the wrong way. We've had 13-15C indoors this winter in order to afford the power bill, and that's with geothermal and a decently isolated house. Combined increases in grid fees and electricity price have multiplied our power bill five-fold the past years (and that's with everything else inflating also).

Next winter we'll hopefully have cleared the chimney and start burning wood again during the most expensive parts of winter.

Yeah, that's obviously a shitty thing to endure. Good luck for the next winter!
