Needs to be joined together to give a combined, united service.

Utilities (power and water etc.) should be owned by the taxpayers who, after all, are subsidising private companies.

Why do people not shift away from the Big Six? If everyone did they’d soon think again about their prices.

People not profits.

Power to the little men and women.

Profiteering based on the sale of a commodity which is essential to life and basic human comfort is outrageous. Nationalisation would end this.

All utilities should be in the hands of the public.

Market forces have left this country with the prospect of being unable to meet our energy requirements in the next few years.

The only concern I have is that the government can’t even run the country. How are they going to cope with anything else?

It’s just common sense to run basic essentials in the public sphere and for the public good.

Re-nationalise and rationalise the energy sector. As long as companies can make a profit exploiting natural resources they will continue to do so.

Energy companies should be brought to task.

Before the sell-off there were 60million shareholders, each with one equal share and equal rights. Now the many pay the few, with no say, rights or choice. Our time has come.

Privatisation has seen us ripped off left and right, not least by the energy companies. This needs to be rectified.

Power production should be for us all and not for private profit.

All the main utilities should be under public ownership. Rich individuals should not be able to profit from them.

This needs to happen. The greedy capitalists have taken the rug from under us and left fellow members of our nation with the difficult choice of heating or eating.

Public utilities for the public. Not massive profits for foreign companies while we freeze.

Water and energy should be non-profit-making.

It’s time to turn back the tide. Private is not always best. Let’s have more pride in civic institutions.

Return to public ownership for the people’s benefit.

Big Six energy companies are a definite cartel. Let’s have a proper investigation into them. Ever since the utility companies were put in private hands prices have risen.

It is time to bring them back into state hands for the good of the many not a few shareholders

We need to re-think how our power is produced, by developing local power production rather than the out-dated transportation of power across the country by pylons.

End this farce. Too long the Big Six have worked together to increase prices.

Giving the private sector monopolies is the most stupid thing, amongst many, the Tories ever did.

Government approved robbery of the population for the benefit of the few.

Put this resource back in the hands of the British taxpayer instead of foreign shareholders who do not care about people.

I have worked all my life and receive no benefits. At 64, I am sitting at home wearing three sweaters as I type this. Fuel supplies should never have been privatised.

People should come before profit, and investment in renewable energy is urgently needed for the sake of future generations.
