Now can we nationlizse the energy industry?

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

How would that solve the costs of the energy(eg gas) and the green taxes?

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Always the dreamer methinks.

Let me put it this way, they would not be wasting money on Profits and Dividends for example

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

So please give us a detailed plan of what you would do.

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

1: My plan would involve nationlizing all the utillite companies

2: They will be merged to together to form "British Utillites"

3: They will not issue out divideds

4: we will scrap the building of new nuclear powe stations

5: we will invest in renewable energy and biomass

6: We will launch clean coal and carbon capture scemes

and thats just the start

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

No easy fix but we do need to get off reliance to other nations for our energy.

Would actually try do what scandinavians done waste heat pumped into towns homes to give free heat.

That would reduce our carbon footprint damn sight better than the usual tax the the backside waste of humans out of us.

The tax for green was the most ill conceived piece rubbsih ever to hit the country. There lack of thought to tackling our energy needs our carbon footprint was antiquated.

We need modern thinking to our problem we need to upgrade many homes to 21st century energy needs which reduce our carbon footprint.

Now nothing wrong with the tax if that tax is being used to reduce homes energy waste.

New homes should be built with better modern thinking to its carbon footprint too.

We so backwards to the issue all we doing is nothing which really make difference to how homes heated get homes more self reliant.

It can be done but dont think we got politians who got the brains or desire.

They used the tax as way to raise revenue to ofset other losses. However they slammed people into poverty more will get into it as energy costs will soar.

The problem then they will have to negate the tax which now they waisted could made big inroads to the problem.

Its all alright saying switch off or use laundry during the night etc but what about really making difference as the world ever more reliant to new gadgets we will see it get worse.

Sort the homes out first. That channel 4 programmes was quite eye opener to what is to come. We need to gear the country for that technological revolution.

You mean fantasy

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Got any better ideas?

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

fuel poverty tax

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Yes i have STOP posting your fantasies

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Well something has to be done

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

that'll cost a bit for the taxpayer

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Yes we will be paying the top rate of 60% tax.

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Thats what Alan Fry wants anyway.

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

We could all club together and start the Alan Fry windfarm that could generate a far bit of cheap energy methinks.:D:D:erm:

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Alan could power hot air electricity generators all on his own ;)

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

:D:D:D

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

How much?

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

just about everything ,like it did the last time all the utilities where nationalised .Governments cannot run businesses they always fail

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Its your fantasy you tell us.

But considering there would be no incentive to make money at all just the same as last time they were nationalised, All they will do is crawl to the Government for a handout each year. "please sir i have spent up can i have some more"

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

I am suggesting it so that we pay less on our utility bills and reduce fuel poverty

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Go for it.....

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

I agree the government sold off are best asset so private companies can rip us off. In fact most of the energy companies are not owned by UK industry any more. Why not go that bit more and renationlizse the Transport, Water and Serwage. The government can't run a biusness some one said, of course not as most of them are greedy B's running their own and making money from us.
I like Alan fantisies bring it on

Re: Fuel poverty to rise to 8.5m, report warns
 

Yes we should renationlize water (except in Scotaland and Northern Ireland where it is the case) and the railways (which despite the sell off, we still fund it and strongly regulate it)
