Even if true, this doesn't change the fact that, recently, things have 
been getting "worse" not better, and the percentage of people who can't 
afford to heat/cool their homes is "growing" not shrinking, pretty much, 
in fact, since Reagan, trickle down economics, and the rasulting 
escalation of a pay gap, along with, BTW, his, and numerous other 
Republican presidents/congresses, "deregulation" of certain industries, 
including laws like fair pay, and the like.
