Can't do that.

Yes you can. In a previous role I installed a 50kW array on an agricultural barn. It's still running so one must assume the barn is still stanindg

Points 2 through to 6 will just put the prices up so high it is not worth doing.

Then what is the point of the Scottish parliament. Better off spending the money on more turbines.

charging people 3 times as much to cook their tea at 6.30pm.

Thats perhaps intended as a distraction.

No, but they could get a reduced rate for using non- peak times. 

 

It's also common sense, as a no Investment solution. People are entitled to not turn on the cooker any time they choose.

Scotland has differing values and goals to a large extent. Hence a left wing government for a long period , despite the voting system being designed to prevent it.

So lots is different

And lots was not devolved.

 

In summary?

More collectivist and egalitarian. Eg social services.

Less of a class system

Naturally against privatisation.

Given a binary choice

Nothing is really binary. Have high speed trains powered by the wind turbines. Lay PV between tracks while your at it.

That's only applicable to ToU tariffs. If you want no extra charges use a flat rate tariff. ToU tariffs are an option, you make your choice and then live by it. Our battery takes us through the expensive periods. Never use grid energy unless in a cheap period - until I mess up things, which happens to everyone.
