All utilities should be publicly owned and run for the benefit of the public not shareholders, with profits ploughed back in for everyone’s benefit.

We need affordable, sustainable, clean energy, for the common good, not private profit.

All in it together, again.

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

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.

Power (back) to the people.

Re-nationalised power could act as a flywheel for the economy. Nationalised power could provide jobs, training, economical energy for business and private individuals.

Our energy supply is fundamental to our society and should be owned by our society.

Energy, rail and health are strategic resources that should be government controlled. We’ve already got health, so there are two to go.

Energy and energy policy should be owned and controlled by the people, not the energy companies. We need a renewable revolution, a fossil-free energy system now.

With this bunch of bully-boys in power, the campaign for re-nationalisation based on cold hard numbers, highlighting how we’ve lost out is needed more than ever.

Keep power prices down and cut down on dividends to shareholders.

Where is the competition? Even Cameron called it a cartel.

This is very important – do not ignore the voices of your people.

Socialism was defeated from 1979 onwards. I was born in 1936 and it is time to restore it because of present day poverty and inequality.

Give us back our freedom that our parents fought for and stop ripping us off.

If electricity supply can be run at a profit, that profit should go directly to improving the country not to shareholders. I would have thought that was obvious.

Don’t expect any help from left wing politicians.

Fantastic idea.

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

Privatisation of Britain’s public services has been a disaster for consumers, the environment and the economy.

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.

Privatisation has proved not to be in the interests of the nation. Competition has not resulted in companies vying to please customers, but in a self-interested cartel.

The huge growth in profit taken by the Big Six over the last four years – from

Power supplies are too important to leave privateers in control.

How can something so vital for human life be used to make a few richer?

Privatisation has not worked.

Energy profits should be invested in energy re-vitalisation, not to line the pockets of company bosses and shareholders.

Don’t they think we pay enough? The government gave the nurses 1% and then the power companies put their prices up by 10%.
