This is a strong possibility if we all stick together.

Ollie Abdullah, Essex

I’m fed up with profits going to companies. They should go back into our hands.

Andy Walker, Brighton

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

Martin Mills

Re-nationalisation of all utilities.

Dennis Wood, Clacton-on-Sea

Our utilities should not be in private hands.

Ian Dargo, Bromley

Privatisation has just become a way for fat cats to monopolise and form cartel-like structures of our energy, trains etc. Re-nationalise.

Hannah Smith, Loughborough

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

Gill Page, Richmond

How about paying for energy usage with, say, 3% income tax? The rich would pay more than the poor. Incentivise low usage by dropping the percentage.

Ian Cattell, Wolverhampton

We don’t want more choice. We just want better service, of benefit to both individuals and companies, serving the economy as a whole, not just shareholders.

Peter Moss, Birmingham

Get back to sanity.

Norman Wall, Wallsend

Re-nationalise now.

Leslie Lomax, St Austell

Privatisation has conclusively failed. It’s time to rethink.

David Pointer, St Ives

It 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.

Alison Belbin, Birmingham

The attempt to create an artificial market in energy supply has demonstrably failed. It is broke so let’s fix it.

Rik Alewijnse, Feering

Utilities are basic necessities and should be run for the benefit of the public, not shareholders.

John Evans, Billericay

Our utilities should be in public ownership. They can be run well on a not-for-profit basis. We are being exploited by ideologically driven policies.

Mark Wilcox, Holmfirth

The shameless boss of energy giant SSE is set to walk away with £15million as a golden goodbye, after his company was fined £4.5million for ripping off customers.

Alex Casale, London

I’m sick of these rip-off companies fleecing us.

Eddie Griffin, Borehamwood

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

Julia Callow, Bournemouth

Re-nationalisation is the only answer.

David Britten, Farnham

You’ve had your time fat cats.

William Hunt, Southport

This is something that should be looked at, but it won’t be easy, as money and shareholders and government are involved.

John James, Lincoln

Let’s get back to how it was – a more fair society.

Hazel Willmer, Barnsley

It’s about time this issue was brought to the fore.

Steven Robert Gill, Fareham

Let’s get this job done.

Bill Smickersgill, Leeds

Bring the power back to the people.

Alex Burnell, Ipswich

The time has come for the downfall of the greedy Big Six, who are more than content to leave pensioners to freeze to death in their homes should they dare to eat vs heat.

Jamie Bolam Scott, Nottingham

A publicly owned energy provider will show up the lie that competition has been good for consumers, just as East Coast has on the railways.

Tom Warnett, Slough

All essential services should be nationalised. That’s rail, water, energy, post office, and schools under local authority control.

Sylvia Coles, Nottingham
