Today, Jeremy Leggett of Solarcentury, one of our Phoenix 50 organisations, will deliver a letter to Number 10 Downing Street, home-office of the UK Prime Minister, about what he describes as “the scarcely credible situation that has unfolded in the UK solar photovoltaics market. Amazing as it may seem, jobs are being shed in the UK in the green new deal market that is fastest growing of them all, in the rest of the world.” A summary of of the solar industry’s case can be found on The Guardian‘s website: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/apr/19/green-energy-jobs-politics <http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/apr/19/green-energy-jobs-politics>
