Green Party savage Green Homes Scheme

category national | consumer issues | opinion/analysis author Friday September 21, 2007 23:58author by Gwen Report this post to the editors

Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Eamon Ryan T.D. drastically cut subsidies for energy efficient homes on September 3rd and today Minister Gormley introduces regulations requiring the use of renewable energy systems in new buildings at the expense of the buyers.

The Green Party is now raising the price of new homes by around €15,000 by insisting on the use of renewable energy systems in all new homes completed after next year.

As Tweedle-dum Gormley sets his fascist stamp on new homes, Tweedle-dee Ryan takes away assistance for Green energy alternatives to ALL home owners.

Where Noel Dempsey had instituted the Greener Homes Scheme to make Green changes easier for homeowners, Minister Ryan has just set Sustainable changes more expensive for everyone by reducing grants.

Some of Minister Ryans anti-Green cuts:

Biomass - Boiler reduced from €4,200 to €3,000
Heat Pump – Vert’l ground reduced from €6,500 to €3,500
Heat Pump – Horiz’l ground reduced from €4,300 to €2,500
Heat Pump - Water to water reduced from €4,300 to €2,500
Heat Pump - Air Source reduced from €4,000 to €2,000
Solar - Flat Plate reduced from €300/m2 to €250/m2

This American company who has justified everything form the Invasion of Iraq to the collective punishment of the Palestinian people will answer all your questions to Minister Ryan. That's right, 'talk to the hand'!

Double plus good Minister!

It's a good job we don't believe in conspiracy theories or we might get the idea the Irish Government was being run by........!
