Miliband's Solar swindle?

Is it Miliband's Solar swindle? No its not a Solar swindle.

It is in fact a brave and revolutionary attempt to move the masses away from dependency on Fossil fuels which ultimately will bankrupt the country and poison the planet.

What would you rather have, a poisoned planet or a green and pleasant land where energy was inconsequential to your everyday life? We've had the dash for Gas and look where that has got us. Within ten years if we don't do something radical the lights will start to go out!

What has been wrong is two things, the scheme looks initially overgenerous in Feed in payments, but remember the cost of installation has halved as demand has risen so perhaps just a miscalculation  Secondly the scheme has been hi-jacked by commercial profiteers - especially "Rent-a-roof" schemes.

Genuinely we need to kick start the domestic Green Energy industry. I think if things stabilise then domestic Solar power has got off the ground. The same cannot be said for Wind Turbines. There is much opposition to their appearance though I believe we must accept them up to a point just like telegraph poles.

I sincerely hope that the day will come when all homes are built with Solar panels and a wind turbine  We have to get cheaper energy.
