Virtually every single 'fact' in that article is wrong.

No one at DECC has yet substantiated the £1.6bn figure. It is over 25 years, but as with all their other financial justifications will turn out to be lies and black propaganda. Anyone who needs to propagate this kind of rubbish has as much credibility as the kind of person who would get their wife to take their speeding points.

@MartynWilliams2 We will learn from Germany and focus on a stable rate of return not a fixed tariff that cant respond to plunging prices

Improve? I already dread reading it.

"Improve" could be translated as meaning "better for Big6 energy companies"......

The Solar King · Jan 31, 2012

Hope you don't consider this off topic. FITs are paid by the Energy Companies, not the Treasury. A proportion of everyone's energy bill funds FITs, other renewable obligations plus other Government initiatives. This is a standard proportion. If the money is not spent on FITs where is it going?? Either into higher profits for the Big6 or to be diverted by the Government to prop up the already disastrous Green Deal, or both.

This document, although a little out of date (July 2010) is worth reading if you have the time.

Goes some way to show the level of double-think that DECC go to, as well.

Just fyi but, March 19th, BPVA have an "Eve of Ecobuild Drinks Reception" in the House of Commons but guess who the guest speaker is.........

It should be TedM, he would get my vote...

After the lies and spin that that man has spun, after the months of turmoil that he cause the industry, the BPVA (The self proclaimed 'voice of the industry') really think it's a good idea to bring the man in to talk to us? Absolutely staggering.

It's like getting Thatcher in to speak to the miners.
