When the launch of Solar Panels took place at Battle School which heralded a new programme of Solar Panels to be fitted in schools this gave hope to schools that energy bills would be slashed whilst their carbon footprint would be reduced. On the face of it a win win situation you would say.
At a special cabinet meeting the Lib Dems and Tories queued up to support the project, claiming it was their party that made this happen.
In typical fashion the coalition makes spurious claims about their green credentials, and this has been proven by their solar sell out. It is now apparent that the plug has been pulled on the project with no reasons given and the cheap tariffs for schools has been withdrawn.
The only reason that has been explored by opponents of the cutbacks to the green energy project is the coalition is listening to the major energy companies, who are concerned about the public and schools having cheap energy. Clearly the Tories and their Lib Dem coalition partners do not want to upset the big multinational companies. So much for being the greenest Government ever!
