An expensive green mistake

Sir, - Most politicians, councillors, civil servants, and directors of energy-related companies will, by now, have realised that the pursuit of a low-carbon philosophy is an expensive mistake. But nobody can admit that because it would be career suicide.

So this mad thing is unstoppable because so many are gaining from it.

It will only end when these people retire or move on and the populace on the receiving end of the greatest subsidy scam of all time will be left without a guaranteed energy supply while the rich will have become richer at the expense of the poor. Malcolm Parkin. 15 Gamekeepers Road, Kinnesswood.
