Madam, - Wouldn't it be wise for the Government to investigate the potential of subsidising the installation of domestic wind turbines and allowing consumers to sell any surplus power back to the national grid?
Such a scheme is in place in the UK. David Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party, has recently had a wind turbine installed.
Such a scheme would help to reduce Ireland's CO2 emissions. A domestic wind turbine can generate enough electricity to power a television for a year. Although such a system is expensive at present, the increasing price of fossil fuels means it is no longer such a radical proposal. - Yours, etc,
GEORGE WALKER, Marino, Dublin 3.
