researching military industrial complexes @Cmmonwealth
Joined December 2013
I interviewed workers in the military industry to understand the potential of a transition from arms production to green manufacturing. My report for @Cmmonwealth argues that industrial strategy in the 2020s should build on the Lucas Plan.

Building on the Lucas Plan, a new industrial strategy can redirect productive capacity and skills from the military industry towards the development of green manufacturing.
🚨NEW REPORT. The military industry — which produces huge social & ecological damage — contains technological capacity that can be repurposed for green manufacturing. We spoke to military industry workers that were open to a transition, building on the historic Lucas Plan.

The Labour government cut the health element of Universal Credit and tried to cut PIP. But they just decided to pay for private aircraft to surveil Gaza and supply intelligence to Israel. There aren't constraints on public money when it is used to support genocide.
Exclusive: The British military is hiring American contractors to carry out secret spying missions over Gaza for Israel because of a shortage of RAF aircraft

This funding increase for the Pentagon will produce emissions equivalent to the entire carbon footprint of Croatia. Overall, if the Pentagon were a country it would be the 38th largest national source of emissions.

“The $150bn increase to military spending is comparable to the amount needed to fund whole-building, deep-energy retrofits for all the nation’s public housing units – a true investment in human security.”. Lorah Steichen and @patrickmbigger for @cplusci on the Pentagon budget.
The US @DeptofDefense budget is set to rise to $1tn. New analysis shows that this will push the Pentagon’s total greenhouse emissions to a staggering 178 Mt of CO2e, resulting in an estimated $47bn in economic damages globally.
