Another area for re-nationalisation without compensation.

Brian Potter, Birmingham

Trusting energy companies to run their businesses for the benefit of customers is naive. Privatisation means profits first and last.

Michael Burnett, London

I’m fed up with being milked to pay for energy bosses’ bonuses. After being caught price fixing too. It’s about time the profits were re-invested in the system.

Chris Ford, London

This country should by now be secure in the provision of clean, renewable, affordable energy. It is the shame of recent governments that we are not.

Christine De-Pulford, Frome

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

Michael Henson, Pickering

Privatisation has become a nightmare from which we would like to wake up.

Linda Lee, Swindon

Either re-nationalise or be run as social enterprise which reinvests any excess into better infrastructure or gives to community projects.

Martin Mills

Shame on a government which thrusts even more people into fuel poverty, while its MPs claim heating expenses for their second homes.

Glen Burrows, Bridgwater

End the corruption of the energy cartel.

David Berriman, St Leonards on Sea

Re-nationalise now.

Patrick McGrath, London

It should never have been privatised.

Mark Finch, Bromley

Tell Sid to hand back the keys and bugger off.

David Goodwin, Dunchurch

Something must be done. They are all raking in extreme profits from us poorer people.

Nigel Rogers, Chester

When I was a teenager I watched Thatcher’s privatisation of UK assets and knew it was bad for citizens and then labour betrayed us. Time to return to rightful owners.

Michael Tanner, Port Talbot

Return energy to public ownership.

Jennifer Gorrod, Tayport

I want public utilities in state hands, not those of corporations.

Dennis Pearce, Hampton

Profits from utility, bus and rail companies should be ploughed back into infrastructure, not shareholders” pockets.

Jeremy Hoyte, Oswestry

Another privatisation for the benefit of the City and funders of the Conservative Party.

Malcolm Grant, Plungar

This petition should highlight the need for more social responsibility to be shown by this selfish and one-eyed government.

Roger Jackson, York

We need to maintain a core of public services which create a sense of shared ownership and shared benefit. Water, energy, health, education cannot be open to profiteers.

Sean Millwood, Stevenage

This will inevitably happen. In the future there will be wars over energy and we will all no doubt suffer.

John Birbeck, York

Public utilities should never have been privatised. The Big Six are becoming more expensive because they are not exploiting renewables.

Louis Loizou, Brighton

Private profit should never have been put before public service.

Clive Rutter, Bristol

Re-nationalisation is the only answer.

David Britten, Farnham

Bring back the CEGB. They would have solved the reduction of CO2 problem, got nuclear generation, got safe generation margins etc.

John Exon, Harrogate

Energy for the public not profit.

James Graham, Croydon

Take back the assets that formerly belonged to the British people. They were fraudulently sold by Mrs Thatcher to the benefit of her friends in the Conservative party.

Tessa Bennett, Berwick-upon-Tweed

Privatization of energy resources and transport is a disgrace.

Lia Martinucci, Richmond, North Yorkshire

It is impossible to have a fair utility supply in the private sector – let’s take it back.

Gill Page, Richmond

I’m 100% behind you.

Eric Firth, Dewsbury
