However, as recently as Tuesday and not for the first time I have tried and failed to start discussions with a green dealer about external solid wall insulation. I've done all the other stuff, as anyone sensibly considering their energy bills would do without need for a government programme. However, I cannot build my own supply chain for a one-off job. My energy supplier has prevaricated twice claiming on one of the two occasions that they are not geared up for individual installs. I'm still waiting for the return call from one of the industry trade associations. A rep in a supermarket backed off rapidly when I didn't want lightbulbs or a PV installation. For many of the reasons cited in the article, large organizations will need to do the more awkward stuff an be able to build their own supply chains if necessary. But unless green dealers step up individuals are going to be limited to participating in the easy stuff. I am gagging for the green deal to start.

1) No up front costs = GET INTO MORE DEBT
2) Rising cost of energy = ENERGY COMPANIES HAVE TOO MUCH INFLUENCE AND PROFIT
3) Jobs = JUST LIKE THE 35000 SOLAR JOBS ABOUT TO GO DOWN THE DRAIN-SHORT TERM EMPLOYMENT UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT CHANGE THE RULES AGAIN
4) Goldman Sachs = NO ONE ELSE WOULD TOUCH IT WITH A BARGE POLE
5) the Law = RECENT EVIDENCE SHOWS THE GOVERNMENT IGNORES THE LAW EVEN WHEN IT CLEARLY IS IN THE WRONG
