Re: Leaving money on the table (none / 1)
What it keeps coming back to is the historic absence of a workable enterprise model for a utility and the perception that the only alternatives are Public = "State" and "Private" = Owned by a "Corporation" for private profit

What is needed is a "Not for Loss" or "Profit for Purpose" enterprise model.

That's where my stuff comes in - a partnership-based model which is:

(a) a market solution which beats state allocation of resources IMHO;

(b) a market solution without profit leaking out to "rentiers" - so it thereby undercuts the "Private" sector and  out-competes them through the "Co-operative Advantage"....
