All Grants Cut

Today the UK Government has cut all grant support to individual homeowners and businesses looking to install Microgeneration Technologies. This is deeply disappointing as this flies in the face of the "Green New Deal" they talked about prior to the elction. Many people thought that with the Torries and Liberals creating a coalition, the merger of the Blue and Yellow would create a shade of Green. This has not been the case with today's budget cuts announced.

One will have to wonder were the Renewable Energy Businesses that have set up over the last 5 or 6 years will go now. The market in northenr Ireland is near dead, the Republic of Ireland is dead and now the GB market, just as it got up from lying down has been knocked flat out again. Will the UK be able to meet its European targets for Renewable Energy? One doubts it as the weed killer that has been sprayed on the Green Shoots has just been sprayed by the Con-Dems!
