CW: UK Politics
Not massively impressed with Burnham's plan to scrap VAT on electricity bills.
Yes, it will help people struggling with their bills to some extent. But not by much.
And yes, it's a simple measure that's easy for the government to do quickly, so I suppose it has that in its favour.
And it's probably slightly progressive, in that people on minimum wage spend a greater proportion of their income on electricity than millionaires do.
But it's not massively progressive. Millionaires still spend a lot more on electricity than people on minimum wage, so they'll still benefit more in absolute terms.
If Burnham wants to help people struggling to pay their bills, raising the income tax threshold or the rates of Universal Credit would probably be better targeted.
Also, it encourages more energy use, which is not what we should be doing when the planet is burning.

#Microsoft announced a “community first” initiative for its #AIdatacentre expansion, pledging to cover full #power costs, reject local #taxbreaks, and replenish more #water than it uses.

#Datacentres, once the invisible backbone of the internet, have become a focal point of public concern and activism. Rapid industry growth, driven by the #AIboom, has led to protests across the US, with activists citing #environmentalconcerns, rising #electricitybills, and the use of #AI. Grassroots opposition has successfully blocked or delayed some projects. https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/24/the-year-data-centers-went-from-backend-to-center-stage/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Solar panels + net metering is now starting to pay off. Our household’s March electricity bill was almost 6000 pesos (~$105), but since net metering was enabled late last month, our April bill is now almost 2000 pesos (~$35). Hopefully this will even be further reduced when we have a full month’s worth of net metering.
