Energy to serve the sustainable needs of the many, not the short-term profit of the elite few.

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

The utilities were sold off far too cheaply.

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

It’s about time the many stopped suffering, to line the pockets of the elite few.

Governments have failed to correct this. We must.

We need a power company that the country owns not companies run by profiteers.

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.

I support the dream but has anyone any idea of the cost of re-nationalising?

One of the best things for UK people and UK finance would be the re-nationalisation of power and railways.

Another public asset stolen from the people.

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

The essential infrastructure of a country shouldn’t be in the hands of money-making private enterprises. They should be run for the good of the people of the country.

Something as essential as power generation should not be in the hands of people whose only interest is in short term shareholder gain.

If this industry had not been privatised by the Thatcher regime, think how much revenue it would be generating for the State.

Energy is infrastructure, and this is the bedrock of national security.

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

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

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

Get back to sanity.

Basic utilities that underpin the infrastructure of a nation should never be in the hands of private, often foreign, businesses.

It’s past time to roll back the Thatcherite privatisations which did nothing but sow confusion as to what is the supposed best deal. And that’s the least of it.

Nationalise. Not for profit.

This has been waiting to be done, so many thanks for starting this petition. Energy and water have to be in the hands of the people, not profit-making companies.

Rip-off Britain.

We are being ripped off, have been for ages and we need to put it right once and for all.

What’s the point of disrupting a well run system for the sake of political ideology? Save the money for the councils that are having to make budget cuts.

This is a long overdue idea.

Taking out the running costs of so many companies could reduce prices instantly.

More money for the rich and the poor suffer.
