Strangely enough the same question surfaced at a local election hustings last night. One of the candidates, who was also a county councillor, said that they had actually tried to enforce compulsory solar panels on new buildings but the government had stopped them from doing it.

If I was a cynical sort of person I might wonder whether the big energy firms have been lobbying against such a thing as it would eventually lead to a massive drop in their profits if all new houses no longer had to pay for their electricity!
