Renewable energy can be made to work. I have posted links to you before. I won't post them again because clearly you never read them. Because you are an eejit. You have never posted one that shows wind energy works, you can't have because it doesn't. even the government is waking up to the con. |

But we need to be doing more with tidal energy now IMO And more with ground source energy. |

Also seems odd that HMG are willling to shove billions into "kickstarting" the small scale Solar PV business but not GSHP's. Nothing to do with the fact that bolting a few bits of glass on a roof and running a cable or three can be done by any half trained monkey in a day but installing a GSHP takes days with quite major excavation or bore hole drilling and needs decent plumbing skills and HP knowledge... Quick Cheap Good - Pick any two. -- Cheers Dave. |

It would only make sense if the electricity used was from a cheap none carbon source, something like nuclear. |
