My living standards are absolutely fine. The French State pays for my energy use. But then I have never been a waster anyway. I have never used any more energy than I NEEDED. Needed being the operative word.
Some of us are quite capable of living with some care and concern for others. I am very fortunate because I don't have to worry about whatever it is that you are talking about. I don't waste anything ever. It is beyond my soul to do so.
