Before you start, I do not have any problem with profit or with rich people (except the greedy ones).
If businesses are not successful, we all will not be successful.
I do have a problem with below.
I cannot see the fairness or how this will help everyone that is on the breadline already and struggling to survive?
Power firms paid out £7billion to shareholders while bills for ordinary customers have rocketed.
The cash was given by the Big Six energy companies amid fears that fuel bills will hit a new high this autumn.
EDF Energy's owners dished out a huge £1.87billion in dividends, followed by E.ON with £1.5billion.
Iberdrola, the owner of Scottish-Power, paid £1.37billion, while RWE, which owns npower, paid £967million.
SSE handed out £717million while British Gas owner Centrica's dividends were £575million.
At the same time the typical dual fuel bill has risen £140 from £1,170 a year ago to £1,310 now, according to energy watchdog Ofgem.
