In the UK, the government have been scammed into paying well-off
householders handsome amounts if they drive their meters backwards with
their expensive and over the top solar PV arrays. Meanwhile other
residents have to pay higher energy bills to make up for the shortfall.


Is that to suggest that government would take taxpayers hard earned
money and spend it in wasteful way?

Of course they do - they are government - but it's also redistribution
of wealth to the greedy. Wrong, stupidly wrong. :-(

Having access to funds over 14,000 pounds is the entrance fee to join
this 'Green' weeze, and some have been tempted to get themselves in debt
to join the club - or even sign over their roof space for preditory
vultures to sit on. Payback is 25 years, and it's not for certain that
the panels and connected equipment will actually last that long.

And we have the traditional British weather, the sun does not come out
that much ...
