War in Ukraine is being used as an excuse to hike up energy prices to consummers; currently around 300%. These rediculous price hikes are really about profit. Energy companies are making record profits. This needs to be reversed.","additional_details":"In 2021 Germany got 55% of it's gas from Russia, German consumer energy  prices have just been increased by 23%. France got 17% of it's gas from Russia, and French consumer energy prices have just been increased by 4%. The UK government has not been investing in innovative energy production, this is also partly responsible for the shortfall in energy. Consumers cannot make their own energy;  (Cammeron government abolished the feed in tarriff). UK Government is prioritising  profits over people.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2022-09-05T07:35:35.487Z","updated_at":"2022-09-07T15:30:16.902Z","rejected_at":"2022-09-07T15:30:15.773Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2022-09-05T10:19:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.
