Time to change out of the emperor’s new clothes
If people want to believe something badly enough, they will only hear what they want to hear. This selective deafness is particularly pertinent to the current debate about global warming.
Discovering the right FiT
The Feed-in Tariff (FiT) was introduced by the Government in a bid to encourage the take-up of electricity generating technologies like solar photovoltaic (PV). Solar PV is uneconomic to install and run without a subsidy so it needs a kickstart and that is what the FiT is supposed to provide. Now comes the news that the FiT subsidy is being halved.
Training for the Olympics
The Olympic bid was won on the promise of real jobs for local people, and the Games certainly have the potential to deliver this as well as a significant skills legacy for the UK.
Cut to the PV FiT tariff is justified
The recent cut to the photovoltaic (PV) solar electricity feed in tariff (FiT) is, I believe, justified. I'm sure those in the PV industry are spitting blood, but it's not the cut that is unjustified; it's the way the Government has carried it out.
Isn’t it ironic… don’t you think?
"A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think..."
