Institutional myopia.


"Following today's announcement of the UK government's new "green policy" towards renewable energy, which is set to cost UK taxpayers a 20% levy on energy bills, the government has also rushed out a statement regarding less well-off families. In what is being called a "social tariff" the energy companies will be forced to charge those less well-off families significantly less than more affluent families with regards to the energy bill tariff."

My God! Means tested gas and electricity! Do you think it will be the big success that the tax credit idea has been?

p.s. Maybe it should be made clear that the "social tariff", because it is cheaper is powered by dirty coal...
