Anyone been following what this fucking government is doing to the renewable energy sector?

Smee [Edit] [Delete] 12:39, 22 July '15

Pretty much every week for about two months the Government has announced a new policy attacking the renewable energy and sustainability sectors and none of the mainstream media seems to give a shit.

They've announced removing subsidies for onshore wind farms (a year earlier than planned), removed building controls aimed at zero-carbon public buildings, and now they're talking about reviewing (and probably scrapping/slashing) the feed-in-tariff for solar projects.

Most bizarrely, they have said that the Climate Change Levy, a tax originally imposed on dirty energy producers to fund green subsidies, will now be applied to renewable generators as well. They're just taking this piss with that one.

Make no mistake, this government has no interest in climate change whatsoever. I'm upset
