Solar energy

In Britain we were going really well on installing solar panels on houses.
So the government cut the subsidy and wrecked the growing business.
However they are still going ahead with a nuclear plant that will always have to be subsidised.

Completely nuts!

Is there enough sunshine in UK even to USE Solar Panels?
