    Loading the standing charge on to the kWh rates would penalise people who are at home all day, including the retired, those who are housebound because of disabilities and those who need to keep warm because of frailty or medical needs.
    These groups are not necessarily the richest and the most profligate, but you want them to subsidise you.  Sorry, but I won't be signing your petition.
