1. 5% "Climate Change Levy" on energy bills above a certain size for business.This started in April 2001.
2. From March 31st it is illegal to sell replacement or original glass windows that do not use "K" glass which it is claimed reflect heat back into buildings. Not only will this increase the costs of replacement windows by som 40% but all installers have to register costing £100's per annum.Plus there will be a levy of 1% on every installation to pay for insection by an army of regulators.
Failure to comply can result in fines up to £5,000.
If a private citizen wishes to install or replace a damaged window, they will have to pay £30 to get planning permision and to pay to have the work checked.
These initial regulations allow a lower standard of insulation than the EC and it is intended the higher EC standards will soon be introduced.
Nobody has explained why the European ice age led to a restreat of glaciers from where I am sat, when we were running around with spears and dressed in skins. probably it was the methane in their farts that rsulted in global warming and the end of the European ice age.
The wretched truth is you don't get research grants proving that global warming is a chimera.
When will people learn, they will always end up paying for these chains called "we're doing it for your own good?"
What a pane.
Sorry, it had to be done.
