Support from Andrew Cumbers, University of Glasgow
10th December 2013 | News
Andrew Cumbers, Professor in Management at University of Glasgow is mentoring Ellie Harrison in developing and establishing the Power For The People campaign in 2014, as she takes part in the Campaign Lab course. He is the author of the influential report Repossessing the Future, which makes a compelling case for the democratic public ownership of energy in Scotland.

As a country, we will have to pay for this in some shape or form.

It would also mean that future revenues from energy go to the public purse rather than private profit.”
