[QUOTE="akaPABLO01, post: 3246916, member: 43748"] Not entirely sure the sales folk are to blame wholly. It's just human greed, a welcome other revenue income. On the one hand I agree that "milking the system" for profit is a drain on rhi resources but on the other hand, haven't farmers been slaves to supermarket squeezes? It's a double edge sword, farmers who risk taking on loans to secure another revenue deserve to use what funding is on offer. Let's not break out the pitch forks just yet, there are "rumours" of dumping heat and exploitation and as we've seen NI completely making a mockery but surely stress tests were conducted by government involving such issues and were probably not fully understood by the many governing bodies overseeing applications. These boilers running day and night aren't going to see out the full 20 years and out of warranty we'll experience very heavy replacement bills. But, as soon as a boiler passed conformity and qualified for rhi the price of them doubles. Remove the rhi and the replacement cost of a boiler should in theory reduce. Getting growers off oil and other expensive fuels was the key, helping farms become more efficient in drying crop, drying chip to sell makes the delivery of service more valuable to the whole economy. The only issue is the wood cannot be replaced faster then it gets burnt and this is the issue. Scotlands forestry made vocal before the biomass wave that fuel could not be sustained and woodlands replenished quick enough. This was ignored. A farmer spends 500,000 on a system, receives rhi, has inspection, rhi withdrawn, taxes paid. If underhanded shenanigans are ongoing they'll be rooted out before full rhi is delivered. That's the safety net and a caution of buyer beware. [/QUOTE]
