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

John Exon, Harrogate

All public services and necessities of life should belong to the people not profit-hungry corporations intent on putting profit before people.

Jason Fawley, Doncaster

Time to repair the damage the last Tory government did. I wonder if they are brave enough?

Jon Scott, Stockton

I’m just sick of being ripped off by these greedy power companies.

Gillian Hawkins, Poole

Power for the people.

Colin Keatley, Plymouth

Energy supplies and infrastructure are produced by the people. They should be owned by the people.

Paul Mclean, Leeds

We need government-run, not-for-profit energy supplies.

Michaela Tiernan, Peterlee

Give us our power back and allow us the means to produce our own energy on a community basis without the political constraints of large corporations.

Tom Rickman, Penzance

Putting food on the table is hard enough without worrying about the cost of cooking it.

Sean Barlow, Chester

We would be able to transition to a low carbon economy in a cheaper more intelligent way if we were in control of our power generation and distribution.

James Martin, Northwich

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

Bryan White, Derby

Everything has been said. I, like many others, am tired of corporate business profits being placed before the genuine need of the British people.

Stella Davies, Wrexham

Where consumer essentials are concerned, profit adds to the cost. Re-nationalisation of power is necessary.

Jeanne Summers, Lowestoft

This and every other essential utility should be returned to public ownership.

G E, Beckenham

Nothing good ever came from privatisation.

Rebecca Lush Blum, Southampton

Nationalisation without compensation. Give us back our utilities now.

John Wilson, Glasgow

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

Andii Bowsher, Sunderland

This country should by now be secure in the provision of clean, renewable, affordable energy. It is the shame of recent governments that we are not.

Christine De-Pulford, Frome

Stop privatisation now.

Gavin Symes, Farnham

Services by the people for the people. Bring the energy and water companies back into public ownership.

Gareth Brown, Rugby

You’ve had your time fat cats.

William Hunt, Southport

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.

David Treasurer, Canterbury

It’s about time we stopped foreign countries buying into us and ripping out our roots.

Elaine Whybrow, Dartford

It’s about time this issue was brought to the fore.

Steven Robert Gill, Fareham

An efficiently run and publicly accountable energy provider must be better than a pure profit model.

David Line, Luton

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

Moira Smith, Kent

About bloody time.

Jim Robson, Corby

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

Kevin Sefton, Oxford

How can we boycott them?

Jean Fernandes, London
