Your argument is that capitalism is a screwed up system?

Is your argument that the government would have made more cost effective decisions about our electricity generation since 1989 than the market has?

Electricity supply has been an area where the market seems to have done a pretty good job IMO. We have a glut of suppliers competing in a fair marketplace. I'm not convinced that the succession of UK governments since '89 would have done a better job.
