You're a great one for throwing out squirrels. Population growth isn't really the point here or what we are discussing. The point is surely more that it's not appropriate for private companies to be in charge of essential utilities, especially those with such an impact on the environment as water.Against a capital expenditure across the same period of £123 billion.
Is that not how all private businesses work?
Do "something" to make a reasonable profit for investors?
Consumerism is what is screwing the planet because we need an eternal supply of new consumers to keep buying "stuff" that is done by population expansion. Population expansion consumes more, does more harm, creates more waste.
Fewer people - consume less - waste less.
Time to cull a few out.
