I can see why thatcher did it - to raise cash for debt repayment and her guvmin's projects. But 40 years on, crisis meets a private company's obligations to its shareholders. The profits at this time of the underlying providers (rather than the alt-energies) are excessive and are being paid by us. That's wrong.

they are not the suppliers. They also operate outside of the uk. That is where the profits are earned.
