I sometimes wonder what Harry is seriously suggesting, as none of his
proposals are practical, except for a very few living with the support
of a highly industrialised country that is not relying upon the
technology he espouses. I can't help but feel that a lot of his
postings are trying to justify to himself having spent as much money
as he did on his house.


It can be very hard admitting being wrong about something particularly
if it involves close family.

Presumably Mrs. Harry had to be convinced that living in an insulated
but ugly home was necessary to save the planet. Every argument which
questions this position must be rubbished if sound reasoning is not
available.

I can sympathise with the original PV investment on a purely commercial
basis: 15K spent, no intention to ever relocate, original FIT payment....


£15k invested with a medium risk portfolio I have with HSBC would have
increased to £22.78k over 5 years. I wonder if he has made as much out
of the FIT.
