UK Government To Appeal Against FIT ruling AGAIN

Either through spite, bloody-mindedness, or machismo the government has decided to try for a last-ditch appeal against the court ruling that it couldn't cut feed-in tariffs for solar panels. See here for more.

The Supreme Justices will still have to decide if they're going to let the appeal go ahead. If they do, that could drag this whole thing out for months and push up the cost to the taxpayer even more than it already has.

But hell, they've achieved their end anyway, the number of new solar builds has fallen by 90%. So much for backing the solar industry.
