Dear Sirs,
With rising household bills and pollution damaging our environment, it's time for a long-term energy strategy: Re-nationalize our energy providers and take advantage of the cheaper, more efficient solar panels now available, and begin widespread rooftop installations, on appropriate available structures: warehouses, factories, schools, hospitals, supermarkets/shopping complexes, libraries, offices, sports centers, stations, and suitable household roofs etc.

Why is this important?
It's clear from the constant debate about household energy bills, that the British public are unhappy with the way energy is being managed in the private sector. There is also concern about relying too much on fossil fuels which pollute the environment and are expensive. Wind farms in the right places certainly help, but the potentially cheaper and less controvertail way to produce energy is with solar panels, which have improved greatly in recent years and are now much cheaper to produce.
The facts and figures are irrefutable: If most rooftops, including factories, warehouses, supermarkets/shopping centers, stations, schools, hospitals, libraries etc, as well as appropriate household roofs, were fitted with solar panels, we would generate more than enough energy for our needs.
In order to achieve this, the main energy companies may need to be renationalized, because it is the 'profiteering' mentality which tends to favour fossil fuels. Clearly there will be costs to the public purse, but we are already paying huge costs in the form of energy bills. With longer term planning and an economy deriving most of it's energy from the sun, energy costs will plummet to an all time low, not to mention the cleaner air and healthier environment! Many jobs would be created, especially during the main installation period and we could even manufacture new panels ourselves, creating further jobs and lowering costs. Come on Britain! Let's dare to dream a better future.
