Not least of which is that the legislation is a shambles. Again. The
government just about managed to achieve an SI on ROHSS for operation
from July 1st. but with enough exceptions to drive a bus through.
That at least seems to be reasonably harmonised throughout Europe.
Activity on the accompanying recycling directive, WEEE, is a total and
utter mess with huge variations between countries and HMG running

The UK government certainly seem to be tentative about going all out to
support this technology, but they don't appear to be actively blocking
it either. Purchase of Micro-CHP boilers is now covered by 5% 'green
purchase' VAT, and the G83 grid connection standard now makes it easy to
connect small scale generator equipment like this in parallel with the
domestic supply. However one thing they've failed to do so far is to
provide any regulation for electricity export to the grid.
