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

Keep up the good work. We are on an electric key meter. Not many companies do it so it makes it hard to change.

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

I am fully in favour of re-nationalising the power industry and the railways.

How long before the market can stand no more?

One of the evil things the Tories did was privatisation.

I have photo-voltaics and have done a lot to make my home energy efficient. It would be good if the government allowed us to do the same with national energy provision.

Privatisation has not worked.

Let’s take back what was stolen from us.

Fuel should be a nationalised industry, to ensure that there are certain controls in place so that everyone can stay warm.

Energy is a public resource. Surely it makes sense that its production and distribution is managed for the public good, not massive profit for a tiny minority of people.

All vital public services such as energy, water, transport, postal services, education and health have no place being run for profit by tax-dodging multinationals.

How can the Government have an ‘energy policy’ when the country is being held to ransom by privately-run, often not British, energy firms?

I despair when we have sold off our national assets, from rail to energy to water to money.

Basic needs should not be in the hands of big business.

Something as essential as power generation should not be in the hands of people whose only interest is in short term shareholder gain.

Another area for re-nationalisation without compensation.

It’s necessary.

If this industry had not been privatised by the Thatcher regime, think how much revenue it would be generating for the State.

I totally agree with your aims.

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

Give the power back to the people.

Energy profits should be invested in energy re-vitalisation, not to line the pockets of company bosses and shareholders.

Utilities should be in public hands and not those of profit-seeking, and often foreign, owners.

Re-nationalise and invest profits instead of paying out to shareholders.

A 21st Century smart organisation, lean, agile, co-operative and sociocratic – sharp and efficient. Replace customer-hostile with customer-centred.

End the corruption of the energy cartel.

Heating and hot water should not be for commercial gain.

It is worth trying, despite the hopelessness we all feel on these issues. See recent reports on how Iceland has resisted the power of banks and multinational corporations.

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.
