Energy Crisis Calls for Public Ownership | Glasgow News

Energy bills are set to soar by £221 for the average UK household — a 13% jump — as campaigners in Clydebank intensify their push for public ownership of energy and a worker-led green transition. With 12.1 million homes already in fuel poverty, unions and activists are calling the situation “shameful,” exposing how energy giants rake in billions while families choose between heating and eating. Nearly a quarter of households are in debt to providers, while executives cash in on rising share values. The movement demands immediate relief and a just transition that creates new jobs, retraining fossil fuel workers and avoiding the social chaos of sudden industry collapse — all to ensure energy is affordable, community-controlled, and free from corporate greed.
