so, Greg Barker's been off to Africa promoting the UK renewables industry apparently.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, more solar installation companies are going to the wall week after week, 2 x long standing UK solar water heating manufacturers have shut up shop, Sharp has told the markets it will shut it's welsh solar plant, and solar installations are hovering around the levels they were last at in the winter of 2010-11 all due to Greg Barkers 18 months of utterly incompetent management of the scheme.

Oh, and the renewable heat incentive for domestic properties is now alleged to start late summer 2013, 3 1/2 years late, but we'll not be holding our breath after seeing the state of the consultation.

Greg Barker, if you ever do a vanity search of your name and read this - how the hell are you still in your job?

Please do the one decent thing of your career and resign, or at least find some competent advisors. This mess is entirely your fault.
 
btw, this is the highest ranking thread on any of the forums for greg barker's name on google, so please share your thoughts on this thread and be sure to include his full name to bump this thread up the google rankings, and let Greg Barker know what the solar industry really thinks of his reign.

is he still alive then?
I hoped the silence meant he'd exploded in a puff of his own self importance

Personally I say Greg for president..................Of any country a very long way away!
 
I have to agree with Gavin on this.
Greg Barker is not fit to run a bath, let alone run the DECC of whatever his job title may be.
I have had to watch him and his colleagues and associated departments monumentally destroy a whole industry, which would have benefited the country as a whole, and maybe even help the planet for our children whilst trying to praise himself about how much good they are doing.
As I, and many others have pointed out before the whole system is rotten, and there should be public uproar about it, but sadly the general public are not aware of what really is going on and how closely connected the energy companies and the government are linked.
I am glad in many ways that I have moved off of center stage as far as renewables are concerned, bit it still leaves me bitter about all the rubbish I/we have had to deal with over the last 2-3 years because I/we believed we were actually doing some good for people and the planet.
 
I think large part of the problem is this government have been so bad across the board that the public generally just don't have chance to actually get properly worked up about any individual thing they've done before they come along and trump it with something even worse.

I actually think it's deliberate, in that they know they're only in for one term, so are just driving through all their wildest pet ultra neoliberal ideas as fast as they can, in the knowledge that doing it all at once will make it far more likely that they'll get the vast majority of it through.

They all know they'll walk straight into a series of cushy board room non jobs immediately after the election anyway, so just don't care what the majority of the electorate actually think. It's a total perversion of a democracy we've got at the moment.
