Green taxes for business being introduced...
Discussion
From next month.
See, you can argue all you want about the issue. But the truth is: we're all going to start paying for it anyway.

Fantastic idea! So when a company that has struggled for work for several months receives a big contract requiring overtime, they'll have to decline it because they'll be fined for using too much tax-gas energy 
Sadly this Green movement joke is becoming increasingly serious and will have serious impacts upon the economy, I just fail to see how it has continued for so long?
The t
t of an MP for my area (Tory) simply told me when asking why the hell they would continue with this idea "Well if companies cannot cut their energy usage, they'll make way for new Green companies"
Exactly the reason that I refused to vote for the Tories

I posted about this on another thread. Thankfully smaller companies seem exempt at the moment as the threshold is over 6000MWH - of which my company (aerospace engineering so lots of machinery and mandatory lighting) with 110 people only uses just over 1000Mwh.
Anyone care to place a bet on how long it takes before the threshold hits domestic levels?
But... this tax puports to 'help' companies find an incentive to become more energy efficient - if they pay HMG £1290 a year for the priviledge. Great
Note though, when this was first publicised in November last year (when I received the first letter) it was all about carbon reduction. That has taken a seat slightly further down the bus and now 'energy efficiency' sits up front. Make of that what you will?
Doesn't make it any less of a joke when we need to encourage business and growth rather than selling plant food gas allowances. Another way of 'printing money' I guess.

And that was the problem, I knew it was a wasted vote as so many people vote in a football fan style ie "I support Labour because my friends and family do, but know nothing about them". With the main three parties continuing to bang the green movement drum I cannot see this lunacy ever ending :'(

No point in voting then, is there?
