Government action, not just rhetoric, on reducing energy price increases.

What the petition asks
E-On have just asked me to pay 34% more next year. £347/year (now) to £466/year. USwitch's best offer is a 14.3% increase with an unknown supplier; with more established companies seeking at least 30% more. Is this fair? I think not! Inflation is running at 1.6% (December 2016). Greed - I think so!
