Rejected petition Cap Gas/Electric Companies profits
More details
How are Gas and Electric Companies allowed to make such huge profits?
We are in a recession and many are struggling to pay their utility bills or worried about using their heating, why doesn't the Government put a cap on the profits of these Companies or stop the price increases.
If the public had more disposable income because we were not paying so much for our Gas, Electric and Petrol/Diesel - then the economy surely would improve.
Bringing down these costs would also reduce Businesses costs and also reduce food costs, haulage/distribution costs etc
