If you can do it for £2k though, tell me when you are free and I'll book you in.👍 Do you not understand the simple concept, that the government would basically be paying the net cost (around £2000, before installation, vat, profit, etc.), and that the government installs it for you (at their cost, i.e. free) and in return (as a form of rent for your roof) they give you a reduced rate for electricity? It really is that simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a full installation. It is a simple “We pay for it, and give you discount for renting us your roof”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about IOMG buying and giving everyone one, 2KW solar cell, and installing it on the roof. The electricity feeds straight into the system. No batteries. No feed in tariff. As a thank you for allowing use of your roof, you get a discounted rate for your electricity. Very simple. Each PV panel costs around £2000. Total cost circa £50 million. Interconnect, and other sources to fill in when required (night time). You're ignoring the people without roofs though, you elitist!

The MUA finds somewhere to put a wind farm and the head of the climate change board (who is her) then publicly says I don’t think you should put a wind farm there. She should resign she’s such a fraud. Her family have plenty of land. Don't they own most of it around Maughold? She should really offer some of this up for the renewables. Not just turbines, but possibly a solar farm. Isn't the sole redeeming feature of living north of Laxey, the fact that it is allegedly sunnier up there? Anyone know if she actually has any renewable power at her nice new house, to power her nice expensive EV or E-broomstick?

At least her new mansion will receive some hefty green grants though, so all's well that ends well. This is exactly what she is doing. Demanding we green, and then poo pooing every green suggestion that comes. Honestly, has she actually made any suggestions rather than just vague statements upon the Island needing to be green? Whenever I pass Prof Ashford, I always cough "Narcissist." I'm going to have to add some diversity to my outbursts and start going for a "Hypocrite" whenever I see Daffers now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I found this presentation interesting , it's a long watch but illustrates some of the problems large countries face in the race for zero carbon. I am aware much of it doesn't have any relevance to here, but is food for thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wanted speedier adoption of renewable energy.....

I suspect getting a more definitive response from her could be tricky. I feel that banning plastic straws was and will be the highlight of her career. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see about that, in their rush of green conscience we will probably end up spending twice what was estimated for something which doesn't deliver!
