'Energy firms are failing on clean energy. Public ownership is the way forward'. Very clear, accessible, and succinct case for public ownership of oil and gas to tackle climate change, in the face of the unwillingness of corporations to do so.

Had ScotGov wanted to, they could have used this moment to transfer ownership of this site into a public energy company. They chose not to, so the largest ultimate shareholders behind these turbines will remain the states of Norway and Qatar.

Increased #corporate #profits were the cause of nearly half of the #eurozone #inflation in the last two years (IMF data).

So we need, in order of effectiveness a combination of #publicownership , #pricecontrols or at least #windfalltax . Not doctrinaire #Interestrate rises that may well drive the zone into #recession. Again.

How a small town reclaimed its grid and sparked a community revolution

> Rühl spotted that E.ON’s 20-year licence was approaching its expiry. Rather than just sign again on the dotted line, he thought Wolfhagen ought to reclaim the grid for itself[..]

Full Interview with Public Power Organisers on Winning the Build Public Renewables Act in New York

"On May 2, New York became the first US state to pass a major Green New Deal policy following four years of organising by the Public Power NY coalition and allies. The Build Public Renewables Act (BPRA), now New York State law, empowers and directs the state’s public power provider—the New York Power Authority (NYPA)—to plan, build, and operate renewable energy projects across New York State. Organisers are now focusing on growing the movement for Public Power from coast to coast."

Rinsed for profit
The NHS will be 75 this year. If it were a person, they’d have been deprived of oxygen and food for 10 years, had vital organs sold for 10 years previously with contractors finding out which body parts they could do without before that.

NHS dismantling, begun by Thatcher in the late Seventies, later progressed by Labour, with compul

Trying to fight inflation caused by opportunistic profiteering by means of interest rate rises is doomed to fail. Isabella Weber et al explain in this paper.

#monetarist #dogma #classwar from above. #capitalism

The only way (short of #democraticsocialism) to control #inflation in the current context are price controls and #publicownership .

Surely this single statement should apply to any communication or content creation platform. One day it will.

Appreciate that this statement from my union's General Exec Board ties the argument for public ownership of railroads to the climate fight. "Put simply, the railroads' 'business model' is a direct threat to our ability to leave a livable planet for our children." Written before the #EastPalestine disaster.
