As pointed out by FoE, the current scheme still leaves plenty room for improvement:

‘the scheme the Government has proposed is poor. It will mean just 2% of the UK’s electricity comes from small scale renewables by 2020.The Government’s own research shows triple this amount could be produced if the scheme was more ambitious.’

Without a proper payback on buying green technologies only the wealthy will be able to afford them.

An ambitious scheme with proper payback would mean more:

• Households took part
  especially those who are less well off
• Community projects
  Like community owned windfarms

• Action by councils
  to support renewables in their area.
  

Call on your MP to demand a scheme that lives up to the UK’s renewable energy potential.’

‘Staff at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), in central London, today found two ten pence pieces on the pavement outside their main entrance. This was no ordinary loose change, but two giant 8ft coins. They were brought to the department by us, ‘We Support Solar’, a group of construction industry workers wanting urgent Government action on green jobs. As followers will know by now, an extra 10p on the proposed solar photovoltaic (PV) tariffs under the Government’s forthcoming Clean Energy Cash Back scheme is all that is needed to deliver rapid solar jobs growth in the mainstream roofing and wider construction sector from 2010.’
