[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, I understand it is easy technology with safe returns, but that is not the remit.
The remit is to produce environmentally friendly energy that is renewable...and of course it is not a bit of good if this energy is as unreliable as the wind.
I am of the opinion that the roll out of smart meters is just so that energy companies can terminate a supply remotely if the need should arise....like when the time comes that there is just not enough to go around.
I am also very incomfortable with the fact that our energy supplies lay in the hands of foreigners.
Our energy companies should always be in British hands.
