"The second reading of the GB Energy Bill today is an important next step ... delivering lower costs, greater coherence & enhanced certainty in the transition to net zero power." — Adam K

"GB Energy has the opportunity to be the first meaningful reversal of four decades of state retrenchment — a demonstration of the principle that public objectives merit public control and are not subordinate to the needs of fickle private investors." — Chris Hayes

Coal, oil and now wind and solar energy have shaped industrial capitalism and moulded bitter struggles between workers and bosses since the 19th century. I've written for The Break Down on capitalism, carbon and workers' power from Scotland to Shenzhen. break-down.org/post/james-wat…

I wrote this about the UK's new state holding co, which I would here combine with Tobita Chow's recent warning that "US elites selectively adopt and adapt progressive policy tools for a strategy that is theirs, not ours: imperialism, militarism, nationalism, great power conflict."
