SOLAR PANELS

I do not understand why the government does not continue to subsidise. I think I get about 14p /kwh? I paid for the installation. Yet the government guarantees 6 or 7 times this for nuclear powers stations, also knowing that decommissioning will be a public cost in the future. Hinkley Point is costing billions. Yet that cost would be paid by private individuals, the electricity produced would be cheaper that nuclear, there are no geopolitical issues. Is it really just about maintaining the profits of the energy companies?

So I pay for installation, get half of the energy I produce with a small subsidy. What is there not to like? Oh, and the value of my house rises.
