More Cuts to Feed-in Tariff for Renewable Energy?

It has emerged recently that the Government is considering cutting the feed-in tariff for solar power developments to less than a thid of its current level.  The feed-in tariff is an incentive to develop small scale, low-carbon energy generation by buying surplus electricity from people with solar panels or wind turbines.  It pays a set amount per kilowatt hour and has proven very successful.
