Anthony Phillips, Leeds + SharePrivatisation of power is a broken concept. Re-nationalisation would literally bring power back to the people.

-
Gerald Halligan, EdinburghThe recent price increases by the major energy companies prey on the most vulnerable members of society solely to boost already record high profits.
-
Alison Belbin, BirminghamIt should never have been sold off in the first place. It’s a basic need which should be provided for the people by the people.
-
Richard Trotman, PenistoneI challenge the powers that be to demonstrate so much as a single benefit to consumers from Thatcher’s privatisation of the energy utilities. Just one?
-
Sarah Patton, HaslemereNo argument. Power is an essential, not a profit-making commodity.
-
Alexander Scott, ArdrossanEnergy supply and distribution requires long term and nationwide co-ordination. Privatisation gives no reason to look to the future when a quick buck can be made now.

When is it going to be widely known that our energy bills are three times higher than the average in Europe. And when will indifferent Tories admit it.

Do not depend on Labour to achieve this. Keir Starmer is actually a Conservative.

A publicly owned energy generation company is the way forward.Comment on Facebook
I've said it before. You don't need to compensate Nationalisation, if you create a company to compete with them. Just as the Labour Party should have done when it bailed out the banks. They could have turned them into State Banks, and undercut the others.
Localise energy you also localise power
Are the New Tesla Towers Up and Running yet ?
This appears a vastly over optimistic piece without knowing more details. Starmer claimed it would be a publicly owned company, but just creating a company means very little. We need to know how investment there will be in this company, or more to the point, how much energy it's planned to generate. Starmer being Starmer means he'll say _anything_ to get elected. It's not beyond him to create the company, but then not fund it, so it's not producing enough energy to actually make a difference. What's more, if it's "publicly owned" but paid for by PFI, or private borrowing, it still leaves the company beholden to the private sector. We need to know how it's going to be funded, how much money it will have, and what the plans are for how much energy it's going to produce... ... otherwise it could all be hot air. And Starmer is no stranger to that. And without wanting to pass the buck, because We Own It already do so much, it's down to people like yourselves to be asking these questions, because The Labour Party won't answer me if I ask.
Except that they haven't actually done it, [not being in power], but only "pledged" to do so !! And we all know from two and a half years' sad experience, [and the Starmenfuhrer's own mouth], what the lying toe-rag's pledges are worth !!!!

It's a scam.
Our #EnergyBills will be double what we paid last winter. And Liz Truss just picked our pockets to boost energy companies profits by another £130 billion.
We pay the price for their profits. We say #DontPay - pledge to strike now 👉 dontpay.uk ... See MoreSee Less
