| Abstract: | Privatization of the British electricity supply industry is an irrelevance to the country. However, in practice the government's plans will be damaging, producing more expensive electricity less reliably supplied. Privatization of electricity is an ideological policy. It has never been based on any calculation of economic or social benefit. It is the political dimension to electricity privatization, which seems to have been widely overlooked. It is explained why no-one has established an economic justification for the government's plants and that the outcome will be damaging for the country's interests. |
