Aye aye...
Personally, I`m not on the gas main, but it is a blatant case of corporate theft.
The cost of building small-scale community and domestic units of grid-connected wind power generators, and solar panels etc would be minimal, and of course each and every individual system dilutes the power of the corporate momopolies.
Nationalisation might be a good step, but could also lead to fat-cat practices amongst those nominated to oversee the process.
I understand that in Denmark and Germany, there are many villages and towns that have become "power suppliers".
German/Danish community owned renewables.
