Bishop Hill Dealing with overFITing
Oct 28, 2011 Energy: solar Representatives of the solar industry are apparently to march on Downing Street to protest that their subsidy is being cut.
Members of the solar sector are preparing to stage a protest calling on the prime minister to intervene to block anticipated plans to halve feed-in tariff (FIT) incentives for solar installations, which they fear will "kill off" the fast-expanding industry.
The new Cut Don't Kill campaign, founded by a coalition of 20 major companies from across the solar industry, is planning to hold a march next month calling on David Cameron to halt controversial plans to slash subsidies for small-scale PV installations.
Perhaps readers can suggest some slogans for these poor oppressed souls to shout at Dave and Nick.

I can't think of a slogan yet, but a business idea for these scammers when they meet Nick and Dave.
How about knickers fitted with internal solar panels so that those that think the sun shines out of their arses can plug themselves into the grid for a feed in tariff?
FIT as a fiddle
'Your costs are going though the roof with us'
'We go that extra tile for you (but it's a fit-up).
We are the Merchants of Light
One struggle, one fight
Last to leave turn out the light!
Or
What do we want? Taxpayers' money!
When do we want it? Right now!
Why should we have it? Because we are considerably greener than yow!
(apologies to Harry Enfield)
Fill Our Troughs?
Has Cameron really come to his senses?
FIT and finished
Feed Me!

Feed Me!
Here's the Musical
"Money for nothing, chicks for free!"
The idea of subsidies for solar installations strikes me as completely barking. However I have a minor problemo. Some time ago I inadvertently invested £20K in a venture capital business (for the tax break) and belatedly realised the money was backing solar panel companies.
Stupido I know!
My message would be 'Feed me just til I'm weaned!!' (3 years 1 month to go...)
My god, fewer panels for climate change.
"Feed Me"
I like that. Perhaps "Feed me Solar?" or "Feed me SomeMore"
The Sun has got his hat on,
FIT, FIT, FIT Hurray,
The Sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to pay.
Tdaaaaaah!
How about this? "Leech - Don't Compete!"
Which? executive director Richard Lloyd says: 'It seems incredible that the government’s method requires companies to ignore whether you live in Cornwall or Scotland when working out how long it’ll take to pay for the solar panels. It’s obvious that the more sun you get, the faster the payback. The government has to put this right.
How much is your roof worth:-

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout our generation)
Just because funds abound (Talkin' 'bout our generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout our generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout our generation)
With apologies to The Who.
What do we want? Subsidies. When do we want them? Forever.
Cheap Energy is THEFT! Raise subsidies NOW!
Well these people are campaigning for the Government to maintain subsidies for squeezing solar energy out of the least sunniest sky in all of Europe, so how about?
"Dave! Nick! come on, stick it where the Sun don't shine!"
WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
Help Nick, Dave & Eddie Rob the Poor to give to the Rich!
"We demand more fuel poverty. Let the pensioners die".
Bish: your readers never disappoint!
Your Grace:
Your readers never disappoint!
Feed in or Dave out!
Repeated ad nauseam to the sound of a pot being banged.
The greenies! United! Will never be repleted!
Support Freezagranny week!
Hands off our proFITs!

It's 'ight & FITting
Steal from the Poor, Give to the Rich
Robbing Hoods, Robbing Hoods, Robbing Hoods.
Reducing the subsidies? they should be stopped completely and everybody should have the right to generate into the grid as long as their volts n amps are correct.
As it stands, the "renewables" sector is a stinking statist insider public subsidy money pit. The wheels on the gravy train are sinking into the very soft ground of "liberal" ideology based engineering and the passengers are whinnying plaintively as it slows and starts to sink.....
ahh yes . . the "entitled to their entitlement" class. They do get bitter when their lip lock on the public teat is broken.
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Make our subsidies less higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Really set your rates up higher
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Cut now and only you will lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Really set your rates up higher, yeah
re Mojo
You got my Mojo working!
I want my FIT
Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the subsidy on the FIT
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your FITs for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
We gotta install solar panels
Custom feed-ins, subsidies
We gotta move these CFL lightbulbs
We gotta move these solar PVs
(See the little Moonbat with the earring and the makeup

(Fade)
I want my, I want my, I want my FIT
(apologies to Moonbat, Dire Straits, but bubble, meet pin)
I see the film industry is backing the solar protest extensively with films including:
Fit to Kill - the poor suffering as farmers collect their Fit income.
Fit for a King. Charles to smother the Duchy in panels.
Britt Fit. Oasis and Blur relive past battles with their sound system powered by solar.
A Perfect Fit - the subsidy is doubled.
Fit for Jesus - Churches throughout the land swap lead for panels on the roof.
Fit Lover - the solar industry reality show.
Keep Fit - their favourite
And even the Americans offer support with Celebrity Fit Club USA
The comedy angle - Get Fit with Brittas. Solar panels on the leisure centre?
Atomic
Wicked!
These representatives of the solar industry may well have fallen victim to the Huhne Corollary, which states that, when Green Party policies reach critical crass, they are hoist by their own retards.

Damned phone.....
I want my

I want my FIT

Catchy marching song, but not as concise as Kim's haiku
What this protest movement needs though is a symbol, and I think this movement has it. What the world needs is (no, thats a different tune) Dale Vince's Nemesis leading the march. Most of it was paid for by the tax payer, so it could tow a small trailer full of used £50 notes as a demonstration of how it'll help UK transport be more green
It costs an awful lot more than a regular Lotus, but that's progress for you, green style. Cost isn't important when someone else is paying and HMRC aren't looking too closely at how it's being used. Nemesis was built as a demonstration of what electric cars are capable of, which is parting fools from their money. A regular Lotus may have been able to tow Dale's old caravan, but Nemesis surely won't be able to budge his new mansion.
Watts Down With That
GrantB - "hoist by their own retards."
Excellent - I wish I had thought of that one.

It was worth saying twice...
For the BEST FIT ... ODS (Occupy Downing Street)
Solardarity forever!
Oh well, they can use the same kit to grow cannabis in their attics, instead of "generating" electricity.

If the plan ain't fit, you must remit!
