Government and People Owned Nationalised Power and All Utilities


TODAY WE PAY CRIPPLING ENERGY BILLS MADE UP OF 50 PER CENT GREEN TAXES AND OVER-CHARGED BY EXCESS PROFIT 
We cannot afford the electric and gas bill.

Many people never turn on the central heating now, however cold the winter's day.


People become seriously ill or even die in frozen homes.

The fuel poverty suffered by so many as well as by half of women who are within the working poor in the UK, would be a thing of the past, bearing in mind these women include those turning 60 since 2013 who have lost food and fuel money with loss of state pension in the UK. And worse to come from 2016.
See if you lose most or all of your state pension:


Privatised power electric and gas companies, according to the regulator Ofgem, are making 10 per cent profit, which means profits have doubled in the past year.

Ofgem informs that energy companies' profits are rising because the price of wholesale gas has fallen 35 per cent and are at their lowest since 2010.

The wholesale gas price makes up half of an energy bill.

The increase in profit margins was a serious concern of the Chairman of the Fuel Poverty Advisory Group to government.

Some power companies never passed on the savings, when the government slashed the cost of green tax levies in December 2013.


HOW NATIONALISED UTILITIES COULD HAVE MADE FUEL POVERTY HISTORY?


Local councils in England are beginning to see the light in generating power for their buildings and nearby residents' homes.

In that article was this:
..."it is worth remembering that in the early-to mid-20th century the profit motive related to energy was anathema. 

Almost 370 municipal electricity schemes supplied relatively cheap power to the urban population, using surpluses for investment rather than dividends to shareholders." ...

And later the words:

..."But if you plan this properly you can create local jobs, ...and reduce the energy bills – so everybody wins."...

And in the penultimate paragraph... "she used to pay the equivalent of £500 annually for oil for central heating. Now she pays half that amount. " ...

Landfill can be used to collect methane gas for a power station on site, to provide electricity to local homes.

There is already such a power station in England that produces enough electricity for 36,000 local homes.



HERE IS THE MOST RECENT OFF THE PEG TECHNOLOGY IDEA IN SELF-SUFFICIENT POWER GENERATION

This video shows USA inventors claiming to be able to make all roads and pavements (sidewalks in American) a means to generate more than enough electricity from solar than the USA needs.

Further ideas to harness the sun's power on roadways to power the street lights, is being researched in American universities.

There are lots of off the peg technologies that could make roads, homes, schools, hospitals, commercial and government buildings and towns self-sufficient in electricity generation.

HOW BUILDINGS CAN BECOME SELF-GENERATING IN ELECTRICITY?


The building sector is said to need about 40 per cent of world's energy.

Refitting current buildings, not just new buildings, could make buildings generate more power than they use.

The sewerage that comes from buildings can be used to generate electricity to make sewerage treatment works not only self-sufficient in power, but also generate power onto the National Grid.

An American university is researching using a natural bug to not only process sewerage but to bring back polluted rivers and lakes from farm pollution into life. And to generate electricity to power the treatment works and power the National Grid.

INSTEAD OF APD TAX - TAX BREAKS TO MAKE PLANES GREENER



Another use for nationalised landfill up in Scotland. Why not in England?

BRITISH AIRWAYS

"investing in the world's first facility to convert landfill waste into jet fuel

The innovative GreenSky London fuel facility will lay the foundations for us to reduce our carbon emissions significantly. The sustainable jet fuel produced each year will be enough to power our flights from London City Airport twice over"

NEW SOCIALIST PARTIES THAT OFFER NATIONALISED UTILITIES IN ENGLAND

Parties that offer nationalised water, electric, gas, landfill, energy from waste, sewerage, so that we can get non-profit making but self-funding and self powered, affordable power for all are on my personal website:
