Hasn't the UK been one of the fastest nations in the world in reducing its emissions? Or something like that.0

Demand for solar panels shot through the roof under Gordon Brown when feed in tariffs were decent.
That is the solution. Successive Tory administrations have made the feed in tariff so negligible, it reduces the incentive and there's no collective, just more voluntary individualism.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

The Tories halved the subsidy and guess what solar panel costs halved overnight. It is therefore logical to conclude that these companies were making a killing before this point and therefore found Labours objections at the time funny. In the second phase of removing the subsidy entirely i think this has gone a little too far by my preferred solution would be to pay people the pence per kwh they would pay to buy for generation but only when the grid needed the power. Or if people have battery storage then make them smart enough to allow the energy companies to draw down on this when they need it. One of the issues with the current grid is that even if unpredictable renewable energy is provided free often is is not wanted as we are paying a commercial provider to run a power station on idle in case the unpredictable renewables which they cannot switch on and off is not there. I can see if from both the government/national grid and consumers side.pinno said:Demand for solar panels shot through the roof under Gordon Brown when feed in tariffs were decent.

An alternative perspective on reality would say a combination of improving cell technology over the past 2 decades, economies of scale in production plus massive production volumes by e.g. Chinese factories resulted in a 65-70% reduction in the cost of equipping a standard dwelling so it made sense for da Gummint to reduce the original incentive levels to reflect updated costs.john80 said:

) back in 2010 when the FIT was ridiculous. 30 seconds research suggested that the actual cost of the panels was already less than a grand then, so I would say that the fall in prices correlates better with the subsidy reduction than the production costs.
We have been contacted by multiple solicitors trying to whip up mis-selling claims - the promised ROI was clearly mince from the start.
But it's still nice to get a quid for every hour the sun shines.
As for battery technoology, we've looked into it but the costs look a bit prohibitive to me.0 -
Battery storage is comical, so a small volume store, easy couple of AGM batteries couple hundred quid good for a decade. Say you had a roof of panels an wanted storage a single 5Kw battery on its own is knowing on £1500 is you had a "used" tesla battery for example, then you need a suitable controller that can deal with the type, volume an charge currents, cabling etc. It adds up quick to the point its going to be cost prohibiting. That an most would want a 240V system so you usually would need to get a professional in which again adds to the cost.
I'd like to see an option when I buy a house of having solar lighting and storage. Its not hard to fit an all that you'd see is a second consumer panel and a battery container. Just imagine a whole new housing development running on it I reckon if they started on these it would start to make an impact. Doubt that would ever happen though!0 -

Let's see what happens after the Iran reprisals. in the meantime I'm off to listen to some of my favourite old songs, including the following:
Clash - Rock the Casbah
Phil Collins - Coming in the air tonight
Blondie - Atomic
Sigue Sigue Spuntnik - Love Missile F-111

Not personally, but looked into it for a number of clients. It's roughly comparable with replacing a boiler and hot water cylinder. I'd definitely consider it when my boiler needs replacing. Does need to go hand in hand with insulating homes properly. For some reason people are happy to pay to heat the air outside their homes.ballysmate said:
You've done it then?rjsterry said:
It's very similar to installing air conditioning to your home. For ground source heat pumps you also need to dig a big hole for the collector coils, but for air source, it's just bolting a box to the outside of the house and some plumbing work.ballysmate said:
They are still designated CNI sites and get afforded the same protection.rjsterry said:
Possibly because most of them are surrounded by sea. The key phrase above is "some years ago". As for domestic heating, most of us are going to have to switch to an air or ground source heat pump and install more insulation, which is relatively straightforward. Modern wood burners have much lower emissions, but are still not ideal for urban areas.ballysmate said:Some years ago, a man subsequently convicted of terrorist offences was found with plans of the gas terminals at Bacton, Easington and St Fergus on his person.
The significance of this meant that these terminals have had their security dramatically increased are are designated CNI sites. Critical national infrastructure
That is our reliance on fossil fuels.
I know of no wind farms being similarly guarded by armed police.
I would also question how relatively straight forward the installation of air or ground heat pumps may be.

'Killing an Arab' by The Cure is technically incorrect so I left it out.
We could have 'Two Tribes' by Frankie goes to Hollywood?

The Cure one is based on Albert Camus novel about a French Algerian called Meursault. Definitely wrong for Trump/Iran.Stevo_666 said:
