Time to kiln dry firewood down to 20%

My understanding is (and I could be wrong ) that the RHI was designed to help us meet the targets set under the Kyoto treaty. The cost of the RHI scheme was a fraction of the fines we would have to pay if we didn't reach the renewables target.

 

 

That's what I thought and was true of the solar pv scheme too. I thought it was an EU agreement and UK would have had to pay more to brussels than the cost of the extra feed in tariff paid to early adopters.

 

It's just a different way of funding compared with the capital grants and disadvantaged area payments which ended up 100% subsidising a customer's kiln a decade ago.

AGREED and so the bigger issue here is the question "is global warming man made or a natural phase that we can do nothing about ? " I'm with the later and dread to think of the billions that have been wasted on a non issue that we can do nothing about. So why do I claim RHI ? Well the answer is I cannot change the stupidity of the situation that made it our best course of action and have paid for it many times over so why not.
