They should never have been sold off in the first place.

In the interest of the people re-nationalise now.

Energy companies should be brought to task.

The cost of energy is going to be of increasing significance. People must make themselves heard.

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.

Profit is not a dirty word – all businesses need it to survive, but what we have with the energy companies is pure unvarnished greed.

There are those that can and those that cannot heat their homes. I’m for supporting and speaking up for those that can’t.

The government could be making all the profit and then reduce taxes and improve public services.

Privatisation of Britain’s public services has been a disaster for consumers, the environment and the economy.

We are the majority, ordinary working people reduced to living hand to mouth. This is the reality.

More power to your elbow. Something needs to be done to stop this profiteering on something that people rely on.

Power supplies are too important to leave privateers in control.

I’ve worked all my life, contributing to our state systems, to find that now, aged 73 and living alone, I sit wrapped in a blanket, trying to keep warm. What life is this?

We need water, gas, electric and the banks – back in public ownership and get this country back on track!

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

Above inflation price rises year on year is simply not sustainable. This is sheer profiteering. The companies can see that their days are numbered.

Privatization of energy resources and transport is a disgrace.

We need to get back to a uniform fair price with profits going into improvements, not shareholders’ pockets.

I am not against privatisation but am sick of people making so much profit from the public.

Privatised energy is not serving the consumer; only the energy companies and their shareholders. Nationalise energy now.

Privatisation has not worked for the majority of people.

What’s the point of disrupting a well run system for the sake of political ideology? Save the money for the councils that are having to make budget cuts.

Power to the many in the hands of the many.

these are necessities not luxuries, so the price needs to be reasonable

Nationalisation without compensation. Give us back our utilities now.

Having just six energy companies, the market place is madness and allowing them to make huge profits from working-class families should not be allowed.

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

And promote microgeneration and community owned renewables.

Common sense over greed, please.

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