Renewable Energy Stocks\' solar expert, J Peter Lynch, commented, \"There is always the chance that the solar tax credit extensions will fail again given the dysfunctional politics currently in operation in the U.S. But even if this most negative of outcomes should come to pass, it will only delay the inevitable. The solar giant will sleep a bit longer -- but not for very much longer. |

- B&Q research highlights that it pays to go green in the home -
New research* out today, reveals that eight out of ten Brits believe that homes boasting energy saving features are worth paying more for, with almost one in ten Brits citing that they would walk away from a dream home if it had a low energy rating.
The research by B&Q, conducted four months after the full roll-out of Home Information Packs (HIPs), reveals that the 71% of home sellers still focusing on quick wins such as de-cluttering the home or giving it a lick of paint, might be missing a trick. Currently just 25% of people consider improving the energy efficiency of their homes before putting it on the market.
Old, clapped out boilers, single glazed windows and insufficient insulation would deter more than half of home buyers (54%) from making a purchase, compared to 10% who would be put off by distasteful décor and just 4% by an overgrown garden. |
