NATIONALISED energy firms could make a whopping £140 billion for the British economy by 2040, according to a TUC analysis published today.
The union body argued investment in a publicly owned clean power company could generate £3 for every £1 put in, or £5,000 per household.
The strategy would lower record-high gas and electricity bills, make the country richer, create good clean jobs and cut carbon emissions, it said.
