Are Planning Regulations and Planning Permissions Getting in the way.

Hi Guys,

I hope that you have had a good day.

Today, 29th June 2009, I was browsing the Internet when I came across an article from the Guardian, a British newspaper. The article’s title was Energy bills ‘too low’ to combat climate change and its subtitle was Royal Society report says current government policy is not enough to pay for green technology. That said it all for me.

I refer to my previous articles from the 18th June 2009 – Renewable Home Energy Solutions – The Case Against Commercial Industrial Wind Power and 23rd June 2009 – Cost Implication of Going Green respectively, which explain the reason why energy prices are as high as they are in the United Kingdom. It all boils down to the captive consumer being forced to subsidize energy policies that don’t even work.

While I agree that more research is required to improve the efficacy of solar panels, energy storage and other renewable energy solutions I believe that the science should stand or fail without the general public being screwed over by the vested interest of the climate-industrial complex.

Let’s face it, such policies always hit the poorer segments of society.

Renewable home energy solutions are totally viable but government and the rest of the climate-industrial complex keep getting in the way.

Planning regulations in the United Kingdom has often stopped small turbines designed specifically for micro-generation from being mounted directly onto existing buildings and also denied planning permission to those who want solar panels on their houses.

It would appear that many of these policies are aimed at discouraging you the home owner from being self-sufficient in energy and the more we demonstrate that these practices are at odds with so-called government and EU policy the better. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to get rid of the politicians and petty bureaucratic jobsworths that get in our way to self-sufficiency in energy.

As always, I wish you everything I wish myself.

Until the next time.

Alain
