The Big Six are corporate thieves.

Geoff Lange, Gosport

Re-nationalise now.

Leslie Lomax, St Austell

This is a long overdue idea.

Chris Dooks, Ayr

Give us decently priced fuels.

Sheilagh Merrett, Windlesham

Public utilities should never have been privatised. The Big Six are becoming more expensive because they are not exploiting renewables.

Louis Loizou, Brighton

Public ownership is the only viable basis on which energy and public transport can be planned and developed in an integrated way, to combat climate change.

Liam McDill, Sandwick

Re-nationalise all energy.

Jennifer Gray, Bristol

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

It should never have happened in the first place. It just cost us all a lot of money. And for what?

Brian Cann, Yeovil

Re-nationalise all public utilities.

Mary Jackson, Doncaster

It cannot be right that businesses make huge profits from energy.

John Crawford, Burscough

I agree fully with your comments.

Abigail Wheeler, Cheltenham

This should never have been privatised.

Dilys Hadley, Exmouth

More money for the rich and the poor suffer.

Lennard James-Tall, Llanelli

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

All in it together, again.

Graham Huntington, York

Only public ownership will deliver a service for the people, not profits for shareholders.

Martin Cummins, Edinburgh

The ridiculous greed of all energy companies and their suppliers must stop. We must also find ways of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels without it costing the earth.

H Moon, Brighton

About bloody time.

Jim Robson, Corby

It makes sense for ‘natural monopoly’ industries, providing necessities like energy, to be in public hands. Profits directly invested into insulating homes.

Rosie Leach, Machynlleth

This issue is far too important to be left to multinationals who put profit before people and don’t care about driving customers into poverty and despair.

Richard Bunting, Dover

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

John Robinson, Lincoln

We need clean, green, renewable, non-nuclear energy, non biomass energy produced as much as possible close to the user with many more home producers.

Roy St Pierre, Colne

I’m sick of being exploited by money-grabbing companies. I hope their days are numbered.

Lorraine Martland, Milton Keynes

Profiteering based on the sale of a commodity which is essential to life and basic human comfort is outrageous. Nationalisation would end this.

Neil Cameron, Sheffield

We need cheaper fuel.

Susan Rogers, Whalley Range

I just agree with everything you’ve said.

Richard Paunes, Ilfracombe

Stop making a profit from you own people.

Mark Whittaker, Nottinghamshire

The water companies should also be taken back into public ownership. Water is a vital resource for everyone. The notion that it can be owned by anyone is obscene.

Roger Wells, Stourbridge

Nationalise. Not for profit.

James Gray, Edinburgh
