Re: UK to privatise nuclear waste? (none / 0)

The insulation option is costly, but a great deal of the cost is labour, in other words, a programme of house insulation to reduce energy consumption = a lot of jobs over quite a long period.

The real lesson of that game, anyway, is that electricity isn't going to be cheap.

The cost of actually building all British houses to a reasonable standard of insulation would probably increase housing prices substantially, too. But it would save everyone a bunch in gas and electricity.

Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
