Powering Britain's future: Electricity bills to be slashed for over 7,000 businesses in major industry shake-up

Certainly a case for this. But all I can see is they're removing some costs that pay for renewables. How are they paying for this? Borrowing? Not cheap.

David Henig is unimpressed with the industrial strategy.

Who is David Henig?

The moneychangers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply values more noble than mere monetary profit.

Henig's a trade guy rather than an industrial strategy guy, isn't he? Giles Wilkes is who I look to industrial strategy. He's spotted some tensions, but not particularly hostile so far.

I recall when Philip Hammond was talking industrial strategy, it was pointed out that, yeah, he'd picked out some sectors with high growth potential, but they seemed to be concentrated in places like Cambridge.
