Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy
20th September 2014 | News / Petition
Following the Referendum on Scottish Independence, Power For the People and its sister organisation Bring Back British Rail are launching two new campaigns for the Public Ownership of Scotland’s essential services and infrastructure with 38 Degrees:
Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy
https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/publicenergyscotland
Public Ownership of Scotland’s Railway
https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/publicrailwayscotland
We intend to keep the pressure up and utilise the ‘new powers’ promised by the UK Government, to demand the radical changes to Scotland’s energy policy necessary to combat fuel poverty and meet the country’s ambitious 2050 climate change targets. In the run up to the next http://laparkan.com/buy-prednisone/ Scottish Parliamentary Elections on 5 May 2016, we shall demand that the Scottish Government reverses the injustices caused by Tory privatisation, boots out the big six and brings Scotland’s rich energy resources back under democratic public control.
Public Ownership in Scotland could be the ‘easy win’, which would pave the way for the other parts of the UK to follow suit.
The Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy campaign is supported by:

Makes me so angry. While we are not on a meter, we cannot have a direct debit since I pay this particular bill(my husband pays others) and I'm self-employed so I never know how much I will have at the end of the month in my account (sometimes my husband pays this one as well). Because of this, we pay over the odds too for our utilities. It's not fair.
Re-nationalise the energy companies
Its never made sense. You get charged more for paying them up-front, vs everyone else who pays less for owing them money? Surely if you're going to charge people different based on pre-payment vs bills, it should be the other way around to reward people who you are making interest off?
