Rejected petition Nationalise the Energy Companies

More details

For too long the energy companies have continued to increase prices while lining their own profits. British gas for example profits have raised by 24% to 742m! The cost of electricity and gas is soaring.

The government needs to take control. By taking control of the energy companies the government can regulate prices to ensure that every British Citizen is getting a fair price! No longer should we rely on the good nature of those involved in the higher management of energy companies.
