Look what’s happening to the privatised energy sector –
- poorly-regulated Big Six energy companies in positions of near-monoploy raking in whacking profits
- a revolving door between government, the civil service and big fossil fuel companies that makes a mockery of democracy
- huge public subsidies that serve as risk capital for companies that won’t otherwise invest – for example in the new Hinkley Point nuclear power station
- high household energy bills
- loads of people dying because they can’t afford to heat their homes
