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

I couldn’t agree more with this agenda. Power to the voiceless.

This has ripped off the ordinary people long enough.

Another area for re-nationalisation without compensation.

Our heating is our biggest cost nowadays.

Our country should be run by the majority vote of the people not the MPs and fat cats. We are the ones who pay their wages.

Power for the people.

Too much attention to profits when we should be concentrating on improving life chances.

Re-nationalise, run the power supplies as a service, not a way of making a few richer while the majority struggle to pay the bills. Any profit made is kept in the country.

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.

I am fed up with being ripped off by these companies.

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.

I just agree with everything you’ve said.

Give the people their utilities back. They’re too important for the privateers to own.

It is time we all said enough is enough. Thank you for organising this petition.

About damn time. Let’s hope many more signatures follow.

Even the Victorians had the sense to understand that utilities so vital should not be private.

Why do we need the money-grabbing middle men? Give us back our energy industry and plough the profits back into the infrastructure, not into the pockets of shareholders.

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

It’s high time we stood together for the good of the majority.

Essential services should be publicly owned and not a business driven by profit.

I really wish you good luck in this campaign, because everything in the UK is being privatised.

Public utilities should be in public hands. It’s as simple as that.

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

Stop robbing your customers. How dare you raise the cost of your customers’ ordinary living expenses. You are making millions, if not billions, out of us. Shame.

Too many million-pound salaries for energy company CEOs while the elderly and others choose between heating and lighting and eating.

Energy is too important to be a wealth provider for shareholders of private companies.

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.

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

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