We can but hope.

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

It’s plain common sense.

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

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

Time for re-nationalisation of the energy industry. Consumers should come first, not a bunch of faceless shareholders who put their own profit first.

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

It’s time to stop rich friends of the government ripping us off. Rail, water, gas, electricity and now the mail too.

The supply of a universal commodity, such as energy, should be run on a non-profit basis.

Everything should be publicly owned. The government has no say in the matter.

I’d rather subsidise my fellow citizens than a bunch of fat cats.

If shareholders’ profit was reallocated to fund development of sustainable sources of power it would vastly reduce the cost of living for many poor families.

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

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

Another area for re-nationalisation without compensation.

It should not have been sold off in the first place. It only lined the pockets of Tories’ friends and masters.

It should be back under one ownership, like it used to be. British gas is now owned by the French.

Why employ all these different salespeople trying to give me a different price for the same product? Have one nationalised provider and keep prices low for everybody.

Our privatised utilities are a joke. The very nature of this fragmented system has the effect of pushing up costs and the evidence of anti-competitive pricing is obvious.

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

I would hate to be old in this country, and have to choose between food or heating.

We have been ripped off far too long by corrupt government after corrupt government. It’s time the public voice was heard.

Power to the people now.

We were conned by the Conservatives. Profiteering at public expense by these cartels is evident. We must have not-for-profit railways and all utilities.

Return energy to public ownership.

I can’t see how paying dividends can do anything other than take money away from customer service or lower prices.

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

It should never have been privatised.

The power companies’ directors and shareholders are just vultures feasting on the misery of people with no choice.

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