Re: Plan B for the UK (none / 1)

But we would of course still wish to have the feed-in tariffs ~ no sense deliberately tilting the playing field against sustainable power in favor of unsustainable power with government policy creating a totally margin-priced market for electricity.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Re: Plan B for the UK (none / 1)

I ruled out taking the wishes of Big Oil into account ~ I said, "No sense ...". Taking the wishes of an industry physically doomed to collapse into account when deciding whether or not the economy should be sustainable would not be sensible behavior.

Its like taking long term investment advice from someone who's doctor said they have three months to live.
