Gavin asked what Barker had said this afternoon and rather than put it on the public forum I've moved it to the lounge because he (Barking) was discussing prices from a number of firms.
The discussion was on You and Yours on Radio 4 today - here's the link it's about 15 mins in BBC - Radio 4 You and Yours - 13/06/2012 Barking gets disconnected while answering but they get him back about 32 mins later.
Basically, David Hunt did a piece from Eco Environments saying that commercial was still viable but that domestic was a struggle. He quoted £9k for domestic systems which is useful for everyone selling under that price because it potentially stops in being screwed on price and not being able to cover costs.
After the first bit when Barking denied that the Green Deal providers had stopped working on Green Deal, he then went on to say that what David Hunt had said was a travesty followed by quoting Tesco @ £6,500, CCE under £6k, British Solar Power £6,500 Solar Essence £7,000, no mention whatsoever about different quality of products, roof types, areas, etc , etc. The guy is a complete idiot! Installations 3 times higher!
Apparently CERT & CESP were way too expensive, short term and a scandal and only delivered low hanging fruit - anyone involved in these schemes knows they were cheap and targeted at insulating homes. They did what it said on the tin! Can't even decide on start date Autumn 2012 / Jan 2013 and doesn't mention that £1.3 billion is coming from consumer bills for ECO.
I'm mad again now listening to him - how do you slap a face on the radio :33:
