Nationalise Energy Companies

Nationalise Energy Companies
Why this petition matters
With energy prices soaring despite record profits being announced year upon year, the government needs to take back ownership of strategic energy assets.
People are already having to choose whether to heat or eat and services such as public transport and energy should not be charged at a luxury cost to satisfy private shareholders of these services at the expense of a whole nation when these services are non-negotiable necessities.
Token gestures of mandatory loans & stripping local authorities of much-needed monies to mitigate bulk cost increases, mismanagement of the energy sector & the whim of the market are not good enough.
It must accept that the Free Market has failed the energy sector and that it is in the national interest to re-nationalise our energy assets.
The Government must therefore renationalise all the UK energy assets.
Our country needs a strategic plan that lowers consumers' energy bills and guides us away from unstable fossil fuel dependency.
The Government needs to own the energy assets in order to achieve this, tackle climate change & protect service users' interests.
