Read what i said, not what you think i said. I made no mention of feed in tariffs, but said that the eu was behind this ie solar.
Err...
What you mean is that in practice if he wants to take advantage of people poorer than him, and force them to pay more for their electricity, probably causing more old people to die in the winter, so that the costs of his useless vanity project can be subsidised.
- paying more for electricity is all about FITs.
Vote UKIP then, its the EU thats driving this
So yes, you did say that it was the EU that was driving FITs.
in answer to your question, that would be the Kyoto Protocol binding legislation for 2020,
And the Kyoto conference/agreement/protocol/whatever-you-want-to-call-it is an EU initiative, or something "driven" by the EU, in what way, exactly?
and i quote "Raising the share of EU energy consumption produced from renewable resources to 20%" so forcing goverments like britain to offer feed in traffis as an incitive to people so as this target can be achieved.
Will you please show how the only way they could have done that was via the incredibly, and yes, lethally, regressive way of funding FITs by increasing electricity prices rather than a subsidy paid via a tax which did not push more people into fuel poverty?
Agree, but then i was refeering to the lack of them in this country
Lack of power stations? Or lack of micro-PV installations?
the power we import from frances
Most of which is produced by nuclear power stations. France only generates 0.8% of its electricity from PV.
both excellent reason for solar power investment
Please look at this:
and tell us how much of our peak demand at 17:30 in Winter months could be met by solar PV, and therefore why it's an excellent idea to invest in it.
So because I am opposed to the FIT scheme, and because I don't think that cheap PV panels on houses in a country at our latitude and with our climate are going to produce enough electricity to make a significant contribution to our required generating capacity I'm probably opposed to power stations?
WT...?
And yet you were the first one to insult with no justerficatation other than a differance of a opinion. need i call you a t**t for that?
Well, let's look at the facts.
1. Maltaron said what you would need to do to take advantage of FIT payments.
I rephrased that to say what you would need to do to take advantage of a terrible and lethal system, i.e. the FIT scheme.
And you quoted my rephrasing, a criticism of the FIT scheme, and said I should blame the EU for it.
2. You said I should also blame people who don't want power stations to be built for the FIT scheme.
3. You said I was probably opposed to power stations being built.
Applies to rich and po0r a like
But it is the poor who are disproportionately affected by the increase in electricity bills. It is poor people who get into fuel poverty. It is predominately poor people who don't own suitable roofs.
Being unable to take advantage of free PV installations does
NOT apply to rich and poor alike.
I wasnt aware i was getting a discount for the cost of the equiment or installation, so can not comement on this. In regards only being paid for the electrity i generate, yes i agree with this and will be seeking to have meters installed to ensure this
I asked "If ... and ... and ...", so describing a situation where if you had to pay all the costs and got only the market rate for what you actually produced would you... Apologies if that wasn't clear.
Agreed. Hence my original post to try and found out the reality of the situtation, but instead i have been attacked by a sales man for the anti movement
Then look at the reality of the situation without the distortion of FITs. Decide if you think it is worthwhile to have solar PV installed if you do not take advantage of FIT, and if so then go ahead and do not make people pay more for the electricity they consume so that you can be paid an artificially high rate for what you produce.
