Rejected petition Free solar panels on all residential properties to end reliance on fossil fuels

Redirect the hundreds of billions allocated to new nuclear to a programme to ensure that all residential properties are offered installation of solar panels at zero cost to the property owner or energy consumer.
Not only is this far cleaner and cheaper, it starts generating immediately!!

More details

The current proposed strategy is entirely focussed on new nuclear.
Not only does this cost billions to build, it will be a decade before they generate a single watt, taking us to at least 2032.
Added to this, the end to end costs including decommissioning end of life stations and storage of spent fuel into infinity is obscene.
To commit to build,the generator, (EDF) is guaranteed price per GW
Consumers will have a levy attached to future bills to pay for both the build and inflated energy costs
