Whilst any investment in green energy is to be applauded, I'm not sure why the government feels it necessary to go cap-in-hand to private business via what feels like PFI 2.0 to raise money. We're one of the wealthiest countries in the world, the issue isn't lack of funds it's where those funds are accumulated. Tax the rich appropriately and we wouldn't need to be reliant on dangling the carrot of profit in front of businesses just to help pay for our countries future.
The only way this can work is if the risk really is passed onto the private buisnesses.
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
