Looking ahead

Last week was a bit frustrating with continuing DECC uncertainties, yet It was exciting to be the first company to launch a free biomass boiler offer for schools, leisure facilities, hotels, farms and the like. People who have dithered for months about having a free solar scheme are now complaining that we have to charge £495 for an EPC survey, realising they have missed the boat,  it will only cost them more from 1st July! Why are the Brits so cynical when it comes to evaluating a real 'no brainer deal' then complain when they miss out? Government having announced RHI for resi heat pumps in autumn, then delay to Spring and yesterday delay again to summer 2013, how do they expect businesses to invest and plan? then Camerons famous 'Green Deal' was suddenly bought forward last week from October to August! Could this be to do with needing a good PR spin about creating 25,000 new jobs? conveniently forgetting that 25,000 were destroyed on botched FIT reviews! And, can we be told what the FIT will be from 1st July please? so we can at least plan a few weeks ahead! Even so, what other business sector in the uk offers any better promises than Renewables?
