Solar Fires

Westminster's war on the evil subversives of subsidised solar appears to be within measurable distance of its end. Deeply concerned by rising bills among hard-working families, so that the robust interventionism of Amber Rudd is a much-sniggered byword among the energy cartel, the greenest government ever has been kicking the solar industry for years and has now succeeded in booting more than half of its workers out of a job. The cost of solar energy has declined, which means that the Government would get more for the same subsidy than it used to; but that would probably not leave much money for such fine and manly Conservative Party pursuits as sacking and fracking. Besides, it would be frightfully irresponsible to put British homes and businesses under the sway of some bloated, toxically radioactive, non-privatised, non-Murdoch sun.
