The alternative of poor people being able to heat their homes? Yes, that would indeed be terrible.
We're lucky then that center-left is precisely the government you want to provide financial support to poor households.

In fact, for heating, this is already happening pretty much everywhere in Europe where households otherwise wouldn't be able to pay those bills.
