Telegraph:

Thousands of British businesses will be liable for significant fines and charges under a new government “green tax” scheme. Companies that fail to register their energy use by next month will be hit with fines that could reach £45,000 under the little-known rules.
These payments are expected to average £38,000 a year for medium-sized firms, and could reach £100,000 for larger organisations. Surveys have shown that thousands of businesses are unaware they are supposed to be taking part, or even that the scheme exists at all. The imposition of new charges and fines will put pressure on firms at a time when economists are warning of a “double dip” recession as companies, consumers and the public sector all cut their spending.

Let’s see how the polling changes once these businesses realize they’re supposed to be participating in this great green adventure. The rest here.
