Yes, then the UK will turn its attention to other sources of energy.
Germany has done it... why not you?

It's like I say, "Germany lost the war and won the peace."

"The share of electricity from renewable energy in Germany has
increased from 6.3 percent in 2000 to about 16.1 percent in 2009. More
than 9 billion euros (US$11.31 billion) was invested in new renewable
energy installations in Germany in 2006. Some 214,000 people in
Germany were employed in the renewable energy sector in 2006,
especially in small and medium sized companies. Over half of these
jobs are attributed to the Renewable Energy Sources Act."

I'm afraid the reason is you are much closer to America than to
Europe. Not geographically, of course.

I'm trying to do my share here, but hanging in the hammock is my best
safe option so far. I save about 100w compared to a TV plus I turn off
the A/C. They are getting my banana, so to speak. ;)
