All infrastructure should be in public control – power and water, transport and telecommunications.

Let private investment take the risk for HS2 and use the capital to re-create a national energy network.

One of the evil things the Tories did was privatisation.

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.

This needs to happen. The greedy capitalists have taken the rug from under us and left fellow members of our nation with the difficult choice of heating or eating.

I am so fed up with how the corporates and bankers pull the strings of the government. There are simple and cheap pollution-free solutions to the energy problems.

Privatisation drives up prices and drives down quality.

Daylight robbery. Corporate assisted manslaughter.

these are necessities not luxuries, so the price needs to be reasonable

This petition should highlight the need for more social responsibility to be shown by this selfish and one-eyed government.

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

Everybody needs it, it’s essential and should not be run by firms from outside the UK who are only interested in making money.

How long before the market can stand no more?

No argument. Power is an essential, not a profit-making commodity.

Having just six energy companies, the market place is madness and allowing them to make huge profits from working-class families should not be allowed.

It is about time the ownership of the electricity and gas industries was passed to the people of the country.

That’s it. We’ve had enough. You can push the people so far. Now we are taking our power back.

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

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

All energy should be state owned.

Let’s get rid of the shareholders.

Energy is now an essential for normal living, and thus shouldn’t be run for private profits.

Let’s unite against these fat cats and make them reduce their profits.

Time to get rid of the energy racketeers.

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

No compensation for the shareholders who got the shares at a bargain price.

I would like to put my name to this petition and I actively support the campaign to bring back our energy network into public ownership.

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

At last. Well done you people and may your good work continue.

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