  • The UK’s aim to develop cleaner energy has taken a step forward after 131 clean energy projects won state subsidy contracts in this year’s auction round — which the government said was enough to potentially power about 11mn homes.

    For a Government which harps on about fiscal prudence they sure have the most inefficient ways of funding clean energy, subsidies.

    They are already constrained by their self inflicted rules. Capitalists don’t invest unless there is money to be made, it is a simple fact. The subsidies are just incressing capitalist profits.

    Alternate way, setup a state owned energy company, hire workers directly. No capitalists parasite middlemen.




  • UK chancellor plans to raise social rents to boost affordable housebuilding

    you don't even have to be a Marxist to see this is complete bullshit

    For some weeks at this hour, you have enjoyed the day-dreams of planning. But what about the nightmare of finance? I am sure there have been many listeners who have been muttering:

    “That’s all very well, but how is it to be paid for?”

    Let me begin by telling you how I tried to answer an eminent architect who pushed aside all the grandiose plans to rebuild London with the phrase: “Where’s the money to come from?”

    “The money?” I said. “But surely, Sir John, you don’t build houses with money? Do you mean that there won’t be enough bricks and mortar and steel and cement?”

    “Oh no,” he replied, “of course there will be plenty of all that.”

    “Do you mean,” I went on, “that there won’t be enough labour? For what will the builders be doing if they are not building houses?”

    “Oh no, that’s all right,” he agreed.

    “Then there is only one conclusion. You must be meaning, Sir John, that there won’t be enough architects.” But there I was trespassing on the boundaries of politeness. So I hurried to add: “Well, if there are bricks and mortar and steel and concrete and labour and architects, why not assemble all this good material into houses?”

    But he was, I fear, quite unconvinced. “What I want to know,” he repeated, “is where the money is coming from.”

    To answer that would have got him and me into deeper water than I cared for, so I replied rather shabbily: “The same place it is coming from now.”
