They Wouldn't Finance Elizabeth II's Hydro Scheme

We discovered the other day that banks had refused to finance a British equipment manufacturer to build the turbines on the hydro scheme being used to partly power Windsor Castle.

And the government is supposed to be promoting hydro power and associated industry?

Considering that the government (we?) actually own several of the largest banks in the country their refusal to finance a green technology project for The Queen of all people beggars belief! (Well, she might be able to fund it personally, but it was a fabrication company that was refused finance apparently)
