"The scheme was introduced by the last Labour government in order to encourage a huge switch to green energy in an attempt to hit its target of reducing Britain’s carbon emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. These green energy levies are costing the normal homeowner dear, adding nine per cent to our energy bills this year, according to the industry regulator Ofgem. Millions of ordinary consumers, to put it bluntly, are therefore having their pockets picked to pay for the latest government eco folly.
.....But as with wind turbines, the environmental negatives of solar energy are being overlooked in the mad rush to encourage anything which can be classified as ‘green’. Of course, it would be mad if we didn’t try to extract clean energy from the sun, the wind and the ground. But the Government’s subsidy schemes are not ultimately going to help us to achieve that aim. All they are doing is to create a rigged market which helps the rich foster a green and caring image for which the rest of us are paying dearly."
