Andrew Simms Quotes

• Es un mundo al revés en el que un país puede importar la misma cantidad de helado, papel higiénico y otros bienes a sus socios comerciales que la que exporta, y en el que los banqueros más importantes cobran millones por destruir valor económico, mientras que los limpiadores de hospitales crean un valor muy superior a su salario.

• Britain has squandered its windfall of natural resources from North Sea oil and gas. Instead of prudently investing the 'unearned income' from nature, to build a safe, clean and green energy supply for the nation, we face unnecessary shortages. But there is still a chance to put the proceeds from liquidating our fossil fuel assets to better and more appropriate use. Instead of oil companies profiteering from climate change and oil depletion, a windfall tax could establish an Oil Legacy Fund to pay for Britain's urgent transition to a sustainable, decentralised energy system
