How can it be any worse than getting a group of people to pay an
individual for energy they generate but use themselves?
I wonder if you support drug dealers as they make stuff cheaper?
At least drug dealers give something back for taking peoples money!
What do we get back from paying you your FIT payments?

If the government, for presumably sound political reasons of its own
related to international affairs,
Or avoiding fines based on some bogus 'Green' / pollution scam ...
wants to pay us[1] for doing something
entirely pointless who are we to unpatriotically refuse to take the
money?
Yes, *especially* when the people paying the money in aren't 'The
people' via their taxes but those who buy electricity.
[1] Those of us at the bottom of steep E/W valleys exposed to neither
wind nor sun have an excuse.
As do those of us with ethics ...
I'm sure there are loads of similar scams going on and of course there
are people happy to take money from those who can least afford it but
with this (the whole FIT thing), *no one* had to sign up for the FIT
scheme to do what they did.
There must be more grid-isolated Solar PV and water systems around the
world than those connected to the grid and certainly than those
*earning money* from others though it (whilst consuming the energy
themselves).
Even a solar farm where the landowner doesn't actually draw any energy
off themselves but exports it all to the grid, (whilst claiming the
FIT) is less questionable IMHO.
