Tuesday 17th February, 9.25am and there is a phone-in on BBC Radio 5. The host, Nicky Campbell, who I find infuriating, is asking whether being environmentally focused is possible during a recession.
A man phones in (in the extremely unlikely event you are reading this – sorry I didn’t remember your name) and puts forward the following:
The government currently subsidises the cost of installing solar panels in a house to the tune of 10%. The man suggests the government changes the subsidy to 90% of the cost and recruits and trains an army of installation engineers. And that’s it.
In one policy move he suggests the government changes the subsidy to 90% of the cost and recruits and trains an army of installation engineers. And that’s it.
The host Nicky Campbell (did I say I find him infuriating?) is a bit lost for words
