Agree Disagree Don't know Don't care

I think that: Gas and electricity prices are rising yet again! The price didn't drop for the consumer when the cost to the utility companies dropped, they make huge profits and yet we are being forced to pay more and more. They know we have no choice as gas and electric are a necessity to us. The Government should do something to stop it.

Because: People are worried, and not just those classed as living below the poverty line. These companies should be stopped. They should channel the money from the ridiculousy huge bonuses they pay their executives into cutting the price for us - we don't want to be too scared to put the fire on when its cold!!! The Government should put a limit on how much they can charge.

Most of it is tax

The vast majority of the cost of fuel is in tax. Oil is very expensive at the moment and the government is the biggest winner. It's not all down to the oil companies who would prefer lower petrol prices.
