Gap Year

Now that Gordon's green revolution is on its way to fulfilment with missed targets, clean coal, sustainable uranium and lots more airports, the Government has decided that it can do without a major support programme for a year or so. We do, after all, have bankers to feed. Funding for the low-carbon buildings programme, which the Government has organised so well that half the money remains to be taken up, will be withdrawn in June, and there will be at least ten nice, long, clean and sustainable months before the new feed-in tariff programme is introduced in April 2010. Doubtless the Government will do everything possible to make this programme workable, so that life is not made inordinately difficult for the Daveybloke administration which will probably slither into power a few weeks after that.
