The Guardian view on Thames Water: Andy Burnham should nationalise this failed monopoly | Editorial (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Bill payers should not fund another rescue for financiers of the water industry. Public ownership can end the cycle of extraction and failureThis month, a cross-party parliamentary committee said Thames Water should be placed in temporary state control and that any takeover by its creditors should be halted. The MPs were right. The “special administration” regime keeps the taps running while shareholders are wiped out, creditors take a haircut and the firm's £19bn of debt is restructured. But it must not then be handed back to private hands. After Thames Water has failed its 16 million customers, polluted rivers, paid out billions to shareholders and repeatedly demanded higher bills, a City-friendly reprieve would only reward the outrageous behaviour that the regulatory system is meant to deter. Ministers ought to seize the opportunity to nationalise Thames Water.In July, Andy Burnham agreed. On the campaign trail in Makerfield, he told reporters that “there's a very strong case for public owners...

"More Signaling, Less Substance": Barclays Pours Cold Water On Trump-Xi Summit
President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping for a White House state dinner late Thursday, calling for closer ties while offering limited details on progress in addressing trade and geopolitical disputes. This was Xi's first White House visit in over a decade.
On Friday morning, Trump issued a fresh Truth Social post related to the evening with Xi, but fixated on his term "Super Intelligence". Apparently Trump wants this to be his legacy in connection with the early history of AI...
Trump last night praised Xi and his wife as "truly outstanding, amazing people" and said the two superpowers should "continue to build a relationship that promotes prosperity and security."
Xi called for a relationship defined by "strategic stability" and urged both sides to "act as responsible major countries."

European Commission Proposes Energy & Water Efficiency Disclosure Rules For Data-Centers
Authored by Zachary Skidmore via Data Centre Dynamics,
The European Commission (EC) has submitted a proposal to require data centers across Europe to disclose their energy and water efficiency metrics.
The European Union (EU) aims to triple its data center capacity over the next five to seven years.
This has raised concerns about the build-out's potential impact on the power grid and natural resource use.
The proposed rules would create a common rating scheme covering data centers with a capacity exceeding 500kW. The scheme would also cover data centers' support for grid balancing services, contributions to waste heat recovery, and use of renewable energy generation.
In support of the proposal, the EC has also launched a call for evidence and public consultation on minimum performance standards for data centers in Europe. The consultation will close in December.
The proposal is now subject to a two-mont...

Foreign Actors Disrupt 2 Colorado Water Systems: Governor's Office
Authored by Kimberly Hayek via The Epoch Times,
Foreign actors gained access to computer systems at two small private water utilities in Colorado in late August, changing equipment controls before operators restored normal operations, according to the governor's office.
Ally Sullivan, a spokeswoman for Gov. Jared Polis, said the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment followed up with the providers to confirm the issues had been resolved. The governor's office said it was unable to confirm which foreign actors and did not identify the utilities.
"The two water utilities impacted are small, private water providers that serve fewer than 200 people," Sullivan said in a statement to media outlets.
"The providers acted promptly and there was no impact to public safety or water services. We cannot confirm what foreign actors may have been involved, but we are aware of ongoing efforts across the nation by an Iranian-b...
